Original Abstract Submitted
Examples are disclosed herein relating to a method performed by a remote capture server, of tracking a media slice through at least part of a communications network comprising a plurality of network elements, the method comprising: inspecting a first payload of a first data packet observed at an egress capture point of a first network element, inspecting a second payload of a second data packet observed at an ingress capture point of a second network element, comparing the first payload with the second payload and associating the first data packet with the second data packet in response to determining that the first payload and the second payload are the same, wherein the first and second data packets correspond to a first media slice in response to determining they are associated.
