Method utilizing stream control transmission protocol to measure network transmission quality and device thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a method utilizing a stream control transmission protocol to measure network transmission quality and a device thereof. The method includes: step 1, a home terminal network element transmits a heartbeat text to an opposite terminal network element at an interval of a first preset time, wherein heartbeat information of the heartbeat text contains an answer heartbeat text, step 2, the home terminal network element receives the answer heartbeat text transmitted by the opposite terminal network element for answering the heartbeat text and counts the answer heartbeat texts received with a second preset time so as to acquire statistics information, and step 3, the home terminal network element computes transmission quality of transmission texts corresponding to the heartbeat texts on the transmission network according to the statistics information, the transmitting time stamp information and the local receiving time of the answer heartbeat texts. The method and the device thereof utilize SCTP to measure network transmission quality so as to prevent interfaces on the SCTP protocol from jamming caused by reduction of transmission quality to further cause interruption of service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for measuring network transmission quality through Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Background technique [0002] With the wide application of IP transmission technology in the field of mobile communication, the quality of IP transmission has become a very key indicator in the field of mobile communication, which directly affects the normal operation of equipment and service quality. Once the transmission quality drops, it is necessary to design reliable detection and response Means to adjust the network, otherwise it will cause serious failure. [0003] SCTP (IETF RFC 2960, national standard YD 1194-2002-I) is the basic protocol for IP network control plane transmission, and is widely used in 3G mobile communications, among which A', XX, 39 of 3GPP2, A over IP of 3GPP, MC, NC ports, etc. are carried on the SCTP protocol. Once these...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the current SCTP-related protocols, the detection of transmission quality is limited to the detection of on-off, and there is no relevant detection method for the transmission quality of IP transmission, such as the bit error, packet loss rate, delay, etc. Jitter and other parameters
