Bruce Kelley - Westford MA, US
Anil Singhal - Carlisle MA, US
Ashwani Singhal - Andover MA, US
Rajeev Nadkarni - North Chelmsford MA, US

Assignee:

Netscout Systems, Inc. - Westford MA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707791, 707922, 709224

Abstract:

Network performance data is collected, recorded, and normalized. In one embodiment, a set of first performance data collected by an agent in response to network transactions initiated by the agent and a second set of performance data resulting from passively monitoring traffic on the network are received. The first and second sets of performance data are normalized to create a set of constantly formatted network performance data capable of convenient analysis.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/203000

Abstract:

To closely simulate the experience of an end user, a software agent executes where the end user would be situated and attempts to exercise a computer resource such as a networked application or a network resource in a simulated transaction in exactly or nearly exactly the same way that the computer resource would be exercised by the end user in non-simulated transaction. The results of the simulated transaction and of other simulated transactions by other software agents are communicated to a central software system for recordation and analysis.
