To solve the problem , a media stream measurement (MSM) algorithm was proposed .Furthermore , a load-oriented measure- ment algorithm (LOMA) was developed .When network is lightly loaded ,LOMA employs PathLoad algorithm and suppresses the amount and the burst of probing traffic with initiation optimization and procedure optimization .Once the network is congested ,LOMA switches to MSM ,which uses video packets to serve the measurement purpose without generating any additional probing traffic .Since LO- MA can restrain effectively the probing traffic under different network load conditions ,it minimizes its interference to the audio-visu
