1. A method comprising:

  • generating a test profile for determining performance on a per individual segment basis of links within a multicast network;

    uploading the test profile on a mobile host that is configured to communicate over the multicast network, wherein the mobile host is further configured to participate in a test session according to the test profile;

    collecting test session information tracked by the mobile host for evaluation of metrics for the performance of the individual link segments within the multicast network;

    attributing a performance anomaly associated with one of the metrics to a network event; and

    generating a multicast datagram for the test session, wherein an identifier is embedded in the multicast datagram or encapsulated in a header of the multicast datagram for tracking purposes.
