First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a network device, a size of a data unit;
determining, by the network device, a minimum size parameter;
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;
determining, by the network device, an amount of traffic associated with the network device based on the predicted amount of padding; and
storing or providing, by the network device, information based on the amount of traffic.

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.
