Network Aware Application Management
First Claim
1. A method of managing a network application, comprising:
- identifying a network path for the network application;
obtaining network performance measurements along the network path;
obtaining application performance information for the network application;
extracting infrastructure specific information for infrastructure supporting the network application;
correlating the application performance information, network performance measurements, and the infrastructure specific information to identify a performance issue affecting the network application; and
modifying the application behavior, modifying the network behavior, providing a notification, or any combination thereof in response to the performance issue.

Abstract
A method of managing a network application includes identifying a network path for the network application, obtaining network performance measurements along the network path, obtaining application performance information for the network application, and extracting infrastructure specific information for the infrastructure supporting the network application. The method further includes correlating the application performance information, network performance measurements, and the infrastructure specific information to identify a performance issue affecting the network application, and modifying the application behavior, the network behavior, or any combination thereof in response to the performance issue.
