Summary

Recommendation ITU-T E.840 is the first in a series covering benchmarking of end-to-end network performance. Recommendation ITU-T E.840 presents a framework for the statistical analysis underlying performance benchmarking of networks and services. The framework describes benchmarking scenarios, use cases, as well as procedures and statistical techniques for ranking end-to-end key performance indicators (KPIs) or key quality indicators (KQIs). Recommendation ITU-T E.840 refers to mobile services and benchmarking campaigns performed using mobile agents (devices) in drive or walk tests, as well as fixed agents or devices placed at fixed locations (e.g., within shopping malls, office buildings or stadia).
