Abstract
A disclosed technology can accurately measures the data frame loss between a pair of communication devices even when link aggregation is present between the communication devices. A communication system includes a transmitting device, receiving device, a plurality of transmitting and receiving links, and a measuring device. The transmitting device duplicates for the same number of times as the number of transmitting and receiving links a data frame loss measurement frame in which the total number of transmitted data frames is written, and then transmits them to the transmitting and receiving links. The receiving device writes the total number of received data frames in the received data frame loss measurement frame. The measuring device measures the data frame loss between the transmitting and receiving devices by subtracting the total number of data frames received by the receiving device from the total number of data frames transmitted by the transmitting device.
