ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a router receives a real-time multimedia flow that comprises IP packets. The router then processes values included in the Identifier fields of the IP packets using resources similar to those used in the monitoring of RTP flows to identify metrics for the real-time multimedia flow. The metrics may be transferred to a remote management device for aggregation with metrics output by other routers located on the data path for the real-time multimedia flow.
