ABSTRACT:
The packet loss ratio for a network is measured using only end-point packet counter or byte counter data received from ingress and egress network elements, or all edge routers attached to edge network elements in a virtual private network (VPN). After preprocessing the packet count data from the end-points, the data signal is put through a low pass filter of one or more tap sizes to remove high frequency variations in the ingress and egress packet count data due to the inability to sample selected data sets simultaneously. After filtering the data may be integrated in order to increase detection of small amounts of data packet loss. In order to determine if measurable loss has been detected the standard deviation of the signal is calculated over a selected set of data points prior to the window in which the packet loss ratio is calculated. If the detected packet loss is greater than a predetermined detectability threshold based on the computed standard deviation for a target threshold rate for a certain filter size then the loss rate is reported.
