1. :
- A method of predicting a session time of a service between a source and a destination in a communication network, the method comprising the steps of;
sending a series of data packets from the source to the destination with a substantially increasing data rate;
measuring the time delay of at least one selected data packet; and
predicting the session time of the service on the basis of the time delay of the at least one selected data packet

Abstract
A method of predicting a session time of a service between a source and a destination in a communications network (1) comprises the steps of sending a series of data packets from the source to the destination with a substantially increasing data rate, measuring the time delay of at least one selected data packet, and predicting the session time of the service on the basis of the time delay of the at least one selected data packet. The data rate may be increased by decreasing the time intervals between the data packets. A device (10; S, R) for carrying out the method may either be portable or integrated in a telecommunications system.
