  • Publication number: 20170237640
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates system and method to support correlating captured network traffic going through a network appliance with its metadata for troubleshooting and debugging of the network traffic. First, network traffic in the form of data packets are captured and filtered for metadata based on user-specified parameters. A correlation is then established between the captured data packets and the metadata in a chronologically correct fashion. The metadata is then integrated and stored with the captured network packets in a correlated network traffic database in a standard storage format, which can later be retrieved for visualization, debugging and tracing of program flows and other data with respect to the network traffic through the network appliance.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of measuring a packet throughput in a wireless communication system are provided. When determining a reference time for estimating packet throughput, a receiver determines the time that a data burst starts or ends in order to estimate the packet throughput considering a change in the data burst of the transmitter buffer. A measurement period is defined through the determined start time and end time of the data burst, and packet throughput is measured considering the total amount of the received data burst. The throughput of packet data may be estimated by each base station based on the same standard rule, so that the measured packet throughput values may be reliable, thus allowing the operator to make use of it as a parameter for MDT.
