    摘要: A machine selects a candidate data service to be tested for service quality. The machine performs a first-phase test of the candidate data service by providing predetermined input data to the candidate data service and measuring a first quality metric that results. The machine may determine that the candidate data service is to undergo the second-phase test based on the first quality metric, and the machine may accordingly perform the second-phase test of the candidate data service. The second-phase test may include: adding the candidate data service to a pool of live data services processing undetermined input data; routing a portion of the undetermined input data to the candidate data service; and measuring a second quality metric resultant from the candidate data service processing the routed portion. Based on the second quality metric, the machine may record whether the candidate data service is to remain in the pool.

    摘要: Methods and systems for uneven segmentation of data packets to reduce retransmission penalty accumulated as a result of having to retransmit one or more of the last segments. The method includes segmenting a data packet into segments of different sizes, with generally larger segments in the first half and smaller segments in the second half, and transmitting the segments over an intermediate communication link to another node. The transmission of the segments begins before receiving the entire data packet, and retransmission of a corrupted segment takes place as soon as an indication indicative of the corrupted segment is detected.

    摘要: A network device determines whether a one-step timestamping method or a two-step timestamping method is to be used for transmission of a first packet. A first processor of the network device transfers to a second processor of the network device, i) a timing message to be included in the first packet, and ii) information that indicates the determined timestamping method. In response to the information from the first processor indicating that the one-step timestamping method is to be used, the second processor transmits the first packet with timing information embedded in the first packet. In response to the information from the first processor indicating that the two-step timestamping method is to be used, the second processor stores the timing information in a memory of the network device for subsequent inclusion in a second packet that is to be transmitted after transmitting the first packet, and transmits the first packet.

    摘要: Examples are disclosed herein relating to a method performed by a remote capture server, of tracking a media slice through at least part of a communications network comprising a plurality of network elements, the method comprising: inspecting a first payload of a first data packet observed at an egress capture point of a first network element, inspecting a second payload of a second data packet observed at an ingress capture point of a second network element, comparing the first payload with the second payload and associating the first data packet with the second data packet in response to determining that the first payload and the second payload are the same, wherein the first and second data packets correspond to a first media slice in response to determining they are associated.
