Abstract:
1. A method of determining a quality of an IP network connection, the method comprising: generating, by a signal generator at a transmitter side, at least one measuring signal for measuring the quality of the IP network connection; determining, by the signal generator, for each of the at least one generated measuring signal, a signal quality of said each generated measuring signal to provide respective signal quality information of said each generated measuring signal, wherein information describing an exact point in time and an type of interference are determined as the signal quality information; simultaneously transmitting the at least one measuring signal and the respective signal quality information to a receiver over the IP network connection; and evaluating, by the receiver, the transmitted at least one measuring signal and the respective signal quality information, wherein the receiver uses the transmitted signal quality information on each measuring signal to reject those measuring signals whose signal quality is already insufficient for a measuring task when being generated by the signal generator.
