Systems and methods are presented for partitioning end-to-end performance effects using network tomography. In one embodiment, a method for partitioning end-to-end performance effects within a network is presented. The method includes determining a network topology between at least two test points, obtaining an unrelated approximation of edge effects between the test points, measuring end-to-end performance data between the test points corresponding to a target application, regularizing an estimate of edge effects for the target application using the unrelated approximation of edge effects, and computing the estimate of edge effects for the target application to partition the end-to-end effects.

摘要:
Performance problems or other conditions are analyzed in a system comprising a plurality of endpoint devices and an associated centralized or distributed controller. End-to-end measurements are obtained for respective paths through the network, for example, using communications between the endpoint devices. For a given end-to-end measurement obtained for a particular one of the paths, a value of a performance indicator for the path is determined and the performance indicator value is assigned to each of a plurality of links of the path. The determining and assigning operations are repeated for additional ones of the end-to-end measurements, the links are grouped into one or more exculpation or inculpation sets based on how many times a particular performance indicator value has been assigned to each of the links, and the one or more sets are utilized to determine, for example, the location of a performance problem in the network.

A distributed monitoring system comprises a plurality of agents configured for communication with at least one central server. A given one of the agents obtains measurement data, and applies a statistical test to the measurement data. Based on a result of the statistical test, the given agent determines whether or not an update needs to be sent by the agent to the central server. The agent sends the update to the central server if the determination indicates that the update should be sent.

Techniques are disclosed for improved monitoring and analysis of VoIP communications, multimedia communications or other types of network traffic in a network-based communication system. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, endpoint devices of the network-based communication system are configurable so as to collectively implement a distributed monitoring and analysis system which does not require a centralized testing server or other centralized controller. Distributed test units associated with the endpoint devices may be utilized in implementing the distributed monitoring and analysis system, and are preferably configured to support a web-based user interface providing access to measurement data. The endpoint devices may be advantageously organized into a hierarchy comprising a plurality of zones, with each of the endpoint devices belonging to at least one zone. For each zone, one of the endpoint devices may be designated as a zone leader for controlling the periodic generation of communications between selected endpoint devices that belong to subzones of that zone in the hierarchy.

摘要:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for evaluating performance stress in a multi-modal network notification service. In a particular embodiment, a method provides generating a covering array of test factors corresponding to a plurality of modes and a plurality of test level values for each mode and determining an escalation hierarchy of the covering array comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each node corresponds to a set of test factors in the covering array. The method further provides performing a notification test run of the set of test factors for each node in the escalation hierarchy to determine performance stress for each set of test factors. The method further provides generating a first factor-level-run table with the notification test runs corresponding to each of n-wise test factors and possible test level values and indicating which of the notification test runs in the factor-level-run table resulted in performance stress.

Systems and methods for constructing and maintaining a peer-to-peer overlay graph are disclosed herein. The systems and methods include adding a node to the overlay graph. Adding the node includes choosing an edge that is not connected to the node, breaking the edge and connecting the node to broken edge nodes previously connected to the edge. The process is repeating if additional connections are need and node addition data is stored for the node.
