Method and apparatus for computer network analysis
First Claim
1. A method for determining a computer network'"'"'s performance during operation of a software application using the computer network, comprising:
- recording network traffic data while the software application is using the computer network;
generating from the network traffic data a latency sensitivity metric;
generating from the network traffic data a bandwidth sensitivity metric; and
comparing the latency sensitivity metric and the bandwidth sensitivity metric to determine the computer network'"'"'s performance during operation of the software application.

Abstract
A method and system for computer network analysis. A test network is configured and test scenarios are run using exemplary software applications. Trace data including network response and load information is collected during the test scenarios. The trace data is used as input data into various network analysis tools. The network analysis tools evaluate the computer network'"'"'s response using a variety of criteria. A final report is generated proposing a computer network configuration suitable for satisfying the requirements of the exemplary software applications.
