Abstract
The invention relates to a system and non-intrusive method for measuring loss rates and transfer durations for data flows that are sent by a telecommunication network in packet mode. The inventive method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: classification of the data packet in a homogeneous flow; calculation of an identification signature for each data packet; counting of the packets in the flow; measurement of unidirectional transfer times per flow or information flow group and measurement of the loss rate for said packets.
