A method for monitoring a network includes injecting a plurality of data packets into the network. The data packets are transmitted between a source device and a destination device. A plurality of reflected data packets is collected. The plurality of reflected data packets are reflected from the destination device to the source device. Also, the plurality of reflected data packets includes at least a portion of the data packets injected into the network. The method further includes determining a total number of the reflected data packets. A packet delivery rate, a latency value, and a jitter value can be calculated based at least partially on the total number of reflected data packets. Further, the packet delivery rate, the latency value, and the jitter value can be reported to a user.
