1. A method comprising:
- performing a latency analysis to determine one or more latency statistics for one or more network links within a distributed computing network;
comparing the one or more latency statistics to one or more benchmark latency criteria to determine if at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link;
if at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link, performing at least one additional network analysis on at least one of the latency-compatible network links to determine whether each of a plurality of logical servers are accessible through a respective port and to determine a data transfer rate statistic for the respective port; and
generating a report that comprises at least the data transfer rate statistic for the plurality of respective ports.

Abstract
A method and computer program product for performing a latency analysis to determine one or more latency statistics for one or more network links within a distributed computing network. The one or more latency statistics are compared to one or more benchmark latency criteria to determine if at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link. If at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link, at least one additional network analysis is performed on at least one of the latency-compatible network links.

13. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause that processor to:
-
perform a latency analysis to determine one or more latency statistics for one or more network links within a distributed computing network; compare the one or more latency statistics to one or more benchmark latency criteria to determine if at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link; if at least one of the network links is a latency-compatible network link, perform at least one additional network analysis on at least one of the latency-compatible network links to determine whether each of a plurality of logical servers are accessible through a respective port and to determine a data transfer rate statistic for the respective port; and generate a report that comprises at least the data transfer rate statistic for the plurality of respective ports. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a network interface to a distributed computing network; a time base; and a processor, adapted to; perform a latency analysis for a communications path between the network interface and a remote server through the distributed computing network, the distributed computing network having a plurality of network links, each network link having an associated latency, to determine one or more latency statistics for the plurality of network links; compare the determined one or more latency statistics to one or more benchmark latency criteria to determine if at least one network link in the communications path is latency-compatible; perform at least one additional network analysis only on latency-compatible network links and determine therefrom whether each of a plurality of logical servers coupled to the network link are accessible through a respective port, determine a data transfer rate statistic for the respective port; and generate a report comprising at least the data transfer rate statistic for the plurality of respective ports. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
