IP QoS Tester

IP QoS Tester is a very easy solution to measure the most important parameters concerning Quality of Service (QoS) over IP networks.

IP Qos Tester is a solution containing three applications:

  • the Sender application
  • the Receiver application
  • the Reflector application

The Sender application sends UDP datagrams to the Receiver application (identified by its IP address and its user-defined port number). Between the Sender and Receiver applications, the Reflector application can serve as an intermediary by reflecting the data it receives towards another machine.

The user can choose the size of the datagrams and the number of the datagrams to send during a test.

If the size of a datagram is lower or equal to the MTU, then Sender and Receiver work on a packet basis (instead of a datagram basis).

The Receiver checks the received packets and measure the most important parameters concerning QoS:

  • Packet (or datagram) loss : number of lost packets (or datagrams) and percentage of lost packets (or datagrams)
  • Packet (or datagram) corruption : number of corrupted packets (or datagrams) and percentage of corrupted packets (or datagrams)
  • Packet (or datagram) delay
  • Packet (or datagram) jitter
  • Packet (or datagram) reordering
