Determination of quality of service of a network tunnel

Abstract:

In some examples, an example method to measure quality of service (QoS) of a network tunnel may include configuring a network tunnel from a tunnel source endpoint to a tunnel destination endpoint, transmitting multiple status packets to the tunnel destination endpoint, receiving multiple forwarded status packets from the tunnel destination endpoint, determining a time of receipt of each of the forwarded status packets, and determining a QoS measure of the network tunnel based on a time of transmission of each of the multiple status packets and the time of receipt of each of the forwarded status packets.
