Abstract
A method and a device for measuring network performance parameters are disclosed. The method includes: receiving an extended bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) packet that includes a packet loss monitoring Type-Length-Value (TLV) and/or a time delay monitoring TLV; and calculating network performance parameters according to the packet loss monitoring TLV and/or the time delay monitoring TLV in the received extended BFD packet. The device includes: an extended BFD packet receiving module and a network performance parameter calculating module. The method and the device enables the calculating of network performance parameters and the monitoring of network performance, and therefore the problem of monitoring network performance in technical solutions in the prior art is solved.
