AB -  Quality of Service (QoS) has become more widely recognized as an important 
issue  since  network  applications  with  real-time  requirements  have  started  to  spread  on  a 
larger scale. Measuring QoS in the internet today is difficult as notions of what constitutes 
QoS vary. Additionally, service Level Agreements (SLA) between customers and network 
service  providers  are  often  poorly  defined.  Therefore,  all  the information  needed  to  infer 
the  network  performance  must  be  monitored  in  order  to  extract  the  network  QoS 
parameters:  latency,  jitter,  packet  loss  and  throughput.  This  paper  presents  a  direct 
estimation  of  active  one-way  delay,  throughput,  and  losses  measurements  precision 
compared  to  the  actual  user  measurements.  This  evaluation  allows  us  to  objectively 
evaluate the network applications performance for delivering user acceptable quality.
