Methods and systems for coordinated monitoring of network transmission events
First Claim
1. A method for coordinated monitoring of network transmission events, the method comprising the steps of:
- monitoring a network transmission event at a network location;
detecting a predetermined condition in the network transmission event at the network location;
obtaining, at the network location, predetermined information relating to the network transmission event;
providing the predetermined information to a predetermined monitoring location;
providing, from the predetermined monitoring location, the predetermined information to at least one network monitoring device at an at least one other network location;
monitoring, at the at least one other network location, the network transmission event;
providing, to the predetermined monitoring location, information relating to the network transmission event, the information being obtained at the network location and the at least one other network location.

Abstract
Methods and systems for coordinated monitoring of network transmission events. Predetermined information for the network transmission event is obtained at a first network location and the network transmission event predetermined information is provided to a predetermined monitoring location (or server). From the predetermined monitoring location, the predetermined information is provided to other network monitoring devices at one or more other network locations. At the one or more other network locations, the network transmission event, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is monitored. Network transmission event information, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is provided to the predetermined monitoring location from the first location and the other network locations. The monitoring of network transmission can be thereby coordinated.
