Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for a trigger circuit of the hardware and to measure the transmission delay even when a packet exchange is in operation by providing a function measuring the transmission delay to the inside of the packet exchange. CONSTITUTION:A transmission delay measuring command inputted from a man machine processor 2 is sent to a line adaptor 4a of an exchange processor 3, the time is measured and a test packet is immediately sent to an opposite line adaptor 4b. As soon as the opposite line adaptor 4b receives the test packet, it is returned to a sender to measure the time returned to a sender line adaptor 4a. The sender line adaptor 4a calculates the transmission delay time from the transmission signal of the test packet and the reception time and the man machine processor 2 displays the information as a command reply. Thus, no trigger circuit of the hardware is required and even when the packet exchange is in operation, the transmission delay is measured.

Conventionally, in this type of transmission delay measurement method, a hardware trigger circuit is set up in a processor with an input line correspondence part and a processor with an output line correspondence part, and a specific packet is detected without passing other packets. The packet was passed through and the time at which the trigger occurred between the two lines was measured and calculated.

Referring to FIG. 1 showing one embodiment, a man-machine processor 2 and a packet switching processor 3 are connected to one loop bus 1, and a line corresponding section 4 having a packet line interface is connected to the packet switching processor 3. It is connected. The transmission delay measurement command inputted from the man-machine processor 2 is sent to the line corresponding section 4a of the exchange processor 3, the time at that time is measured, and a test packet is immediately sent to the other line corresponding section 4b. At the same time as receiving this test packet, the other line corresponding section 4b returns it to the sending source, and measures the time at which it is sent back to the sending source line corresponding section 4a. The source line correspondence unit 4a calculates the transmission delay time from the transmission signal and reception time of the test packet, and reports the result to the man-machine processor 2. The man-machine processor 2 displays this information as a command response.
