Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss Testing Design
Core Hardware Components (GAO Tek Inc.)
- These devices capture, filter, and forward real-time data traffic to monitoring tools. They are essential for isolating test traffic from production traffic for accurate latency and jitter measurement.
- Key Features: Real-time packet capture, traffic filtering, load balancing, and mirror port forwarding.
- A high-performance testing instrument that supports latency, jitter, and throughput testing over copper and fiber networks.
- Functions: Round-trip delay measurement, jitter graphing, packet loss monitoring, BER testing, and performance validation across physical and virtual links.
- Used to validate the physical layer of fiber optic links during latency testing to eliminate underlying transmission faults that may affect upper-layer performance.
Software Systems and Analysis Tools (GAO Tek Inc.)
GAO Tek Network Protocol Analyzer Software
- Captures and analyzes real-time traffic at the packet level. It helps evaluate latency and jitter by observing packet timing across protocol layers (TCP, UDP, RTP).
- Integrated Features: Time-stamped packet capture, latency distribution graphs, and packet retransmission detection.
GAO Network Performance Diagnostic Suite
- A centralized software platform for analyzing results from multiple GAO testers. This suite integrates results into customizable dashboards and generates SLA compliance reports.
- Features: Real-time alerts, historical trend reports, baseline creation, and automated performance deviation alerts.
RFID & IoT System Extensions (GAO RFID Inc.)
GAO RFID RTLS Monitoring System
- While traditionally used for asset tracking, this system can be configured to measure system response time of RFID-tagged asset updates across distributed networks—helpful in stress-testing network latency in smart logistics and manufacturing environments.
- Use Case: Evaluating delays in transmission between tag detection and centralized server logging under various load conditions.
GAO RFID Edge Gateway
- Interfaces with sensors and field devices in industrial IoT networks. It offers diagnostic capability for evaluating end-to-end latency and packet delivery reliability across edge-connected environments.
Key Features & Functionalities
- Latency Measurement: Detect one-way or round-trip delay in milliseconds to assess communication timing.
- Jitter Analysis: Measure variation in packet arrival times to identify causes of poor audio/video quality.
- Packet Loss Detection: Monitor lost, dropped, or corrupted data packets during transmission.
- Live Traffic Monitoring: Analyze network behavior under real-time conditions.
- Multi-Protocol Support: Compatible with TCP, UDP, RTP, VoIP, and more.
- Threshold Alerting: Set performance thresholds and receive instant notifications for anomalies.

Case Studies
Case Study 1 – U.S. Financial Institution (New Jersey)
A major East Coast bank experienced sporadic issues with VoIP call quality. Using our latency and jitter diagnostics, the client identified configuration issues in their MPLS circuits and resolved over 95% of call disruptions within two weeks.
Case Study 2 – U.S. Healthcare Provider (Illinois)
A large hospital network saw delays in real-time patient monitoring data. Our packet loss testing revealed intermittent switch buffer overflows. After implementing targeted upgrades based on our reports, real-time data latency dropped by 68%.
Case Study 3 – Canadian Telecommunications Company (Ontario)
A telecom provider preparing for a 5G rollout needed to validate backhaul performance. Our tools provided baseline measurements for jitter and latency across nodes, helping them ensure compliance with SLA standards for enterprise customers.
