1. A method for achieving an end-to-end data flow rate supported by a communications network having a source and a destination interconnected by communication links, the method comprising the steps of:

  • initiating a data flow at the source over the links, the data flow comprising a plurality of packet pairs;

    measuring an amount of data received at the destination over a predetermined time interval;

    measuring a packet gap for each packet pair received at the destination over the predetermined time interval; and

    determining, in response to the measured data and packet gap, a supportable data flow rate in the network so that the data flow initiated by the source can flow through the network without loss of data.
