US Patent 11483229 Detection of network measurement inaccuracies

The disclosure describes techniques for detecting network measurement inaccuracies through the detection of sender delays or packet drops. For example, a sender device of a test packet may determine whether the sender device is experiencing any issues in sending the test packet to a receiver device and notify a controller of the issues such that the controller may generate an indication that one or more Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measurements based on the test packets from the sender device are inaccurate and/or untrustworthy, remove the inaccurate KPI measurements, and/or adjust the inaccurate KPI measurements.
