1. A system for measuring aspects of a network having a plurality of network components, comprising:
- a monitor, established for a particular customer of the network, configured to gather operational characteristics of a monitored one of the plurality of network components; and
an analyzer configured to;
analyze the gathered operational characteristics received from the monitor; and
estimate an operational characteristic of an unmonitored one of the plurality of network components based on the gathered operational characteristics,wherein the gathered operational characteristics correspond to at least a power draw associated with one or more applications that are executing on the monitored one of the plurality of network components for the particular customer, andwherein the estimated operational characteristic corresponds to at least a power draw associated with the one or more applications that are executing on the unmonitored of the plurality of network components for the particular customer.
