Publication number: 20210006482Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for monitoring communication link performance between a communication device located behind a NAT, which is coupled to a communication device via a communication link, while enabling NAT traversal. Various embodiments utilize periodic transmissions of a short burst of communication packets between communication devices to monitor communication link performance. To monitor whether a link can support a particular service, a minimum required data rate of the service may be compared to a lower bound of the throughput measured by the dispersion of packets and by detecting excessive queueing delay. Once a problem is detected, a more accurate performance measurement may be triggered. Periodic communication enables NAT traversal via NAT hole puncturing. Overall, communication devices may maintain connection across a NAT, while monitoring communication link performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Chan-Soo HWANG, John M.
