Method And Arrangement For Measuring Transmission Quality In A Packet Mode Communication Network
First Claim
1. A method for measuring a transmission quality in terms of lost packets between two pre-determined nodes arranged to transmit and receive packets in a packet mode communication network, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing each node with a counter, whereby each node is able to reset the counter on the other node;
counting transmitted packets in one node and received packets in the other node during a pre-determined period of time; and
,comparing the counters after the pre-determined period of time has ended in order to obtain a packet loss measurement.

Abstract
A method and an arrangement for measuring a transmission quality in terms of lost packets between two pre-determined nodes arranged to transmit and receive packets in a packet mode communication network. Each node is provided with a counter arranged to count transmitted packets in one node and received packets in the other node during a pre-determined period of time. After the pre-determined period of time has ended, the counters are compared in order to obtain a packet loss measurement.
