1. A method for measuring the performance of at least a portion of a computer network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing one or more sampling lists, each sampling list identifying one or more nodes representative of a group of nodes of interest;

    sending signals to a relatively large number of nodes identified on the one or more sampling lists in a relatively short time;

    receiving signals from responding nodes on the one or more sampling lists;

    recording raw data indicative of the corresponding sent and received signals;

    reducing the raw data to data streams indicative of the performance of the nodes; and

    presenting information derived from the data streams, the information being indicative of the performance of one or more of the groups of interest.
