Abstract :
Internet services rely on communication networks to serve billions of end-users worldwide. Metrology platforms are used to assess the Quality of Service of such networks. This work reviews and classifies the existing metrology equipment and methods. In particular, we provide elements of comparison between different packet capture techniques and clock synchronisation methods, two essential building blocks of metrology platforms.
