Abstract
A system for measuring network performance parameters includes multiple network nodes (125) and at least one collection agent (130). Each of the multiple network nodes (125) calculates signature values for received packets. Each of the signature values includes an identifier for a corresponding packet. The collection agent (130) collects the signature values from the multiple network nodes (125), and determines one or more network performance parameters based on the collected signature values and network topology information.
