System and method for displaying a graph representative of network performance over a time period
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring performance of a packet network, said system comprising:
- a database configured to store network performance information collected from a plurality of network nodes of a packet network, the network performance information being indicative of or otherwise suitable for use in determining a health of a plurality of network segments of the network packet network, the network performance information distinguishing between network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and network performance information associated with data packets including non-real-time content, wherein collecting the network performance information includes collecting device performance information associated with the performance of network devices themselves located at a particular node of the network, wherein the device performance information identifies latency introduced by a lack of processing capabilities at the particular node of the network; and
a processing unit in communication with said database and configured to access the stored network performance information, said processing unit further configured to generate a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of the network performance information distinguishing between the network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and network performance information including non-real-time content with a node segment over a time duration.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring performance of a packet network may include storing network performance information collected from a packet network, where the network performance information may distinguish network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and data packets including non-real-time content. A graphic user interface including a graphical representation of the network performance information distinguishing the network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and network performance information including non-real-time content with a node segment over a time duration may be generated.

9. A method for monitoring performance of a packet network, said method comprising:
-
collecting network performance information from a plurality of network nodes of a packet network including determining a number of real-time sessions being communicated over each of the plurality of network nodes; storing the network performance information collected from the plurality of network nodes of a packet network, the network performance information being indicative of or otherwise suitable for use in determining a health of the network packet network, the network performance information distinguishing between network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and network performance information associated with communications of data packets including non-real-time content; and generating a graphic user interface including a graphical representation of the network performance information distinguishing between the network performance information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and network performance information including non-real-time content with a node segment over a time duration, wherein generating a graphical user interface including a graphical representation includes generating a graph including a first indicia representative of a first network performance information parameter associated with data packets including real-time content communicated with the node segment over the time durations, a second indicia representative of a second network performance information parameter associated with data packets including non-real-time content communicated with the node segment over the time duration, and a third indicia representative of a sum of the first and second network performance information parameters, and wherein collecting the network performance information includes performing a measurement to characterize a burst nature of data flows associated with communications of data packets. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
