A method for monitoring a network includes injecting a plurality of data
packets into the network. The data packets are transmitted between a
source device and a destination device. A plurality of reflected data
packets is collected. The plurality of reflected data packets are
reflected from the destination device to the source device. Also, the
plurality of reflected data packets includes at least a portion of the
data packets injected into the network. The method further includes
determining a total number of the reflected data packets. A packet
delivery rate, a latency value, and a jitter value can be calculated
based at least partially on the total number of reflected data packets.
Further, the packet delivery rate, the latency value, and the jitter
value can be reported to a user.
