METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASURING NETWORK TRAFFIC STATISTICS IN N-SECOND INTERVALS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H04L29/00 

FIELD: computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: this technical solution relates to computer engineering, in particular to methods and systems for measuring network traffic statistics. Disclosed is a method of measuring network traffic statistics on n-second intervals, performed by a processor, in which information on settings of a load test is sent by means of a software agent located on a traffic generator, to a traffic analyzer; determining, by a traffic analyzer, how many packets will be sent by the traffic generator and when it terminates the generation process; starting traffic generator and traffic analyzer; traffic generator generates packets with constant speed; traffic analyzer starts the interval after the arrival of the first packet from the traffic generator, and then stores the start time of the load test; determining the belonging of each transmitted packet from the traffic generator to the traffic analyzer to a specific interval; traffic analyzer generates statistics on traffic for each interval, as well as general integral statistics on traffic based on statistics on all intervals.

EFFECT: high accuracy of measuring network traffic statistics over n-second intervals when performing a load test.
