Abstract
A system measures traffic in a device. The system tracks an amount of data and the data units and predicts the amount of padding associated with the data units. The system determines the amount of traffic in the device based on the predicted padding, the amount of data, and the number of data units.

39. A method comprising:
-
determining, by a network device, a size of a data unit; determining, by the network device, a minimum size parameter; and predicting, by the network device, an amount of padding associated with the data unit based on the size of the data unit and the minimum size parameter. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A system comprising:
-
a first non-transitory memory to; store a minimum size parameter; a second non-transitory memory comprising; a plurality of entries, each entry to store a pad count; and at least one computation unit connected to the first non-transitory memory and the second non-transitory memory, the at least one computation unit to; receive a data unit size value, predict an amount of padding associated with the data unit based on the data unit size value and the minimum size parameter, and store the amount of padding in one of the entries of the second non-transitory memory. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
