Abstract

Provided is a method for measuring a throughput of a backhaul network. The method includes: estimating an available bandwidth of a backhaul network; determining the sizes (P) of packet trains by using the estimated available bandwidth; and calculating a virtual throughput of the backhaul network by using at least one parameter by transmitting N packet trains having the determined sizes to the backhaul network (N is a natural number that is equal to or greater than 2).
