The Assembly Interval Report provides statistics on the delay between the time when
different packets from the same message are assembled at the destination. The assembly
interval can result from delay variation through the network (due to varying buffer delays)
or it can result from congestion on the destination node. In cell-based networks, this measure
is the cell-delay variation, a quality of service measure for these services.
Packets Assembled
The number of packets assembled at the destination.
Inter-Assembly Interval—Minimum, Maximum, Average and Standard
Deviation
Inter-Assembly Units
The minimum, maximum, average and standard deviation for the delay
between the packets when they are assembled at the destination.
The time unit used to measure the delay.
