P0937663 02.0
Adjusting ping measurements
The Ping statistics are based on round-trip measurements. While the QoS metrics in the
Transmission Rating model are one-way. To make the comparison compatible, the delay and
packet error
Ping
statistics are halved.
Adjustment for processing
The
Ping
measurements are taken from
Ping
host to
Ping
host. The Transmission Rating QoS
metrics are from end user to end user, and include components outside the intranet. The
Ping
statistics for delay needs additional adjustments by adding 140 ms to explain the processing and
jitter buffer delay of the gateways.
No adjustments are required for error rates.
If the intranet measurement barely meets the round trip QoS objectives, the one-way QoS is not
met in one of the directions of flow. This state can be true when the flow is on a symmetric route
caused by the asymmetric behavior of the data processing services.
Late packets
Packets that arrive outside of the window allowed by the jitter buffer are discarded. To determine
which
Ping
samples to ignore, calculate the average one-way delay based on all the samples. Add
300 ms to that amount. This amount is the maximum delay. All samples that exceed this one-way
delay maximum are considered late and are removed from the sample. Calculate the percentage of
late packets, and add that percentage to the packet loss statistics.
Measurement procedure
The following procedure is an example of how to get delay and error statistics for a specific site
pair during peak hours.
