Patent ID: 11153443

Abstract:
A system and method is provided for calculating session initiation protocol (SIP) key performance indicators (KPIs) for multimedia communication in a network accessing network packets monitored over time. The method includes accessing network packets monitored over time, detecting a SIP response message of the monitored network packets, and accounting for the detected SIP response message in a time window of a series of consecutive time windows that includes the SIP response message's associated observed time. The SIP response message has an associated observed time at which the monitored SIP message was observed during monitoring. The method further includes pairing a SIP request message expected to be paired with the detected SIP response message with the detected SIP response message and accounting for the paired SIP request message in the time window with which the detected SIP response message is accounted. The method further includes calculating a KPI for the time window using the detected SIP response message and its paired SIP request message that are accounted for in the time window.
