    determining a first network performance indicator, based on the Layer-4 statistics collected during a first time period included in the time periods and the Layer-4 statistics collected during a second time period included in the time periods and neither overlapping nor consecutive with the first time period;

    determining whether the communication network has experienced a performance issue based on the first network performance indicator; and
