TRTC (Tencent Real-Time Communication) monitors network status through a combination of techniques including real-time data packet analysis, latency measurement, and packet loss detection. It uses these metrics to assess the quality of the network connection.
To realize the signal strength display function, TRTC continuously evaluates the network conditions. For example, it measures the Round-Trip Time (RTT) to determine the delay in communication between the client and the server. A lower RTT indicates a stronger and more stable connection. Additionally, it tracks the packet loss rate; fewer lost packets suggest better signal strength.
Here’s an example: When a user is in a video call, TRTC can display the signal strength as "Excellent," "Good," "Fair," or "Poor" based on the current network metrics. If the RTT is below 50ms and the packet loss rate is less than 1%, the signal strength might be displayed as "Excellent."
For enhanced network monitoring and signal strength display in cloud-based applications, Tencent Cloud offers services like TRTC, which provides real-time communication capabilities with built-in network quality assessment tools.
