METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ESTIMATE APPLICATION AND NETWORK PERFORMANCE METRICS AND DISTRIBUTE THOSE METRICS ACROSS THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS, SITES, SERVERS, ETC

摘要

A method and apparatus to estimate application and network performance metrics and distribute those metrics across the appropriate applications, sites, servers, and the like, performs shallow analysis on a majority of traffic and deep analysis on a sampled set of the traffic, and estimates network and application performance metrics for the non-deep analysis data, providing an overall estimate of metrics without requiring deep analysis of all traffic.
