Accurate Measurement Technique of Packet Loss Rate in Parallel Flow Monitoring

In our previous research, we have proposed a parallel flow monitoring method in which the end-to-end delay is accurately measured. The method increases delay samples of a target flow by utilizing the observation results of other flows sharing the source/destination with the target flow. In this paper, we extend this method to loss measurement, and enable it to fully utilize information of all flows including flows with different source and destination. Through NS-3 simulations, we confirmed that the proposed method reduces error of loss rate estimations by 57.5% on average.
