METHODS FOR PROVIDING PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for providing a performance improvement recommendation for a connection between a first network node in communication with a second network node, the method comprising:
- (a) transmitting information from the first node to the second node to provide communication between the nodes, via a plurality of transmission components;
(b) measuring an elapsed time of transmission of the information between a subset of the plurality of transmission components, the aggregation of the measurements representing time elapsed for end-to-end transmission of the information that includes preparing, by the first node, the information for transmission and processing, by the second node, the information upon receipt;
(c) determining when one of the plurality of measured transmission components has a performance that crosses a predetermined threshold; and
(d) identifying a recommendation to improve the performance of the component determined in step (c).

Abstract
In a method of providing a performance improvement recommendation for a connection between a first network node in communication with a second network node, information is transmitted from the first node to the second node to provide communication between the nodes, via a number of transmission components. An elapsed time of transmission of the information between a subset of the transmission components is measured, the aggregation of the measurements representing time elapsed for end-to-end transmission of the information that includes preparing, by the first node, the information for transmission and processing, by the second node, the information upon receipt. A determination is made that one of the measured transmission components has a performance that crosses a predetermined threshold. A recommendation is identified to improve the performance of the identified component.

20. A computer readable medium having executable instructions thereon to cause the providing of a performance improvement recommendation for a connection between a first network node in communication with a second network node, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
instructions to transmit information from the first node to the second node to provide communication between the nodes, via a plurality of transmission components; instructions to measure an elapsed time of transmission of the information between a subset of the plurality of transmission components, the aggregation of the measurements representing time elapsed for end-to-end transmission of the information that includes preparing, by the first node, the information for transmission and processing, by the second node, the information upon receipt; instructions to determine when one of the plurality of measured transmission components has a performance that crosses a predetermined threshold; and instructions to identify a recommendation to improve the performance of the component determined by the instructions to determine when a performance crosses a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
