Epitiro provides various KPI Packs for analysis of IP networks which are described below in the KPI Pack Descriptions document. A snapshot of the KPI Packs are available below.
Broadband Test Application
The Broadband Test Application KPI Pack contains the metrics used for analysis of the world’s most popular internet functions; web surfing , email, playing games and general file sending. Metrics include HTTP speed, DNS lookup time, Ping, Packet Loss, Jitter and E-Model VoIP voice quality, email delivery time/success and FTP speed. Failures are also recorded. The Broadband Test Application works on all probe types.
Traffic Management & TCP Throughput Test Application
The Traffic Management & TCP Throughput Test Application is used to analyze am ISP’s performance in terms of assessing maximum ‘up to’ speeds according to the rate in which very large files are downloaded. Traffic designed to appear as P2P files can be streamed to capture views of Traffic Management practices.
Advanced Voice Analysis Application (includes ITU P.862.1 PESQ analysis)
The Advanced Voice Analysis Application uses ITU standard models measure actual speech quality known as MOS. The quality measurement algorithm is used for all network types. PESQ compares an original reference voice sample with the degraded output from the far-end. The overall audio quality is measured as well as other audio characteristics such as background noise, volume differential and one-way audio delay.
While MOS voice quality scores are an indicator of customer experience, other metrics are also recorded such as call setup times, dropped calls as well as network information unique to the voice access technologies being used.
Advanced Video Analysis Application
Video Streaming can be analysed from a consumer application viewpoint with the Advanced Video Analysis. Live-playback and measurement of streaming media and can be configured to stream video and audio from either a live or on-demand URL, for a specified period of time. Supported streaming protocol support includes RTSP, MMS, and HTTP.
Mobile Test Application
Used in conjunction with the Broadband Test Application, the Mobile Test Application includes SMS testing and a collection of network layer metrics such as RSSI, SNR, GPS, Speed & Direction (for in-motion testing), BER and more.
