Abstract
Application number: WO2004FR50111
The invention relates to a method for evaluating bandwidth between a first point and a second point exchanging packets of digital data in a telecommunication network comprising a plurality of sub-networks. The inventive method comprises the following steps for each direction of transmission via one of said sub-networks: association of a same identifier to packets emitted in a quasi-simultaneous manner; time dating and recording of the packets received; identification and sorting of packets received with the same identifier; selection of a whole number m of groups of packets having the same identifier; measurement of the time intervals separating the moments of reception of emitted packets by the second point; calculation of bandwith according to the number of packets of groups selected and the total duration of transmission of said packets.
