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.
