1. In a communication network comprising computer systems communicatively coupled with communication equipment, a method for monitoring communication performance comprising the steps of:

  • a) a computer system measuring and time-stamping network performance statistics and storing said network performance statistics in a memory unit of said computer system;

    b) said computer system measuring and time-stamping system information and storing said system information in said memory unit of said computer system, wherein said system information recites system performance statistics and system parameters of said computer system, wherein said steps a) and b) are performed concurrently;

    c) said computer system reporting said network performance statistics and said system information to a central computer system at specified time intervals, wherein said network performance statistics and said system information are indexed to said computer system; and

    d) said central computer system correlating network performance statistics measured during a specified time interval with system information measured during said specified time interval based on said time-stamping and storing said network performance statistics and said system information in a memory unit of said central computer system.
