Network Performance Measurement System and Method of Network Performance Measurement using it

摘要

PURPOSE: A system and a method for measuring network performance are provided to simultaneously measure the performance of each section using a passive measuring device when a test packet generated from an active measuring device moves from end to end. CONSTITUTION: A system for measuring network performance is comprised of a server(101), active measuring devices(102,105), and passive measuring devices(103,104). The server(101) creates a measurement schedule and transmits it to each measuring device(102-105). Also the server(101) receives measured results from the measuring devices(102-105), analyzes them, and outputs analyzed results. Each active measuring device(102,105) generates a test packet according to the created measurement schedule and transmits it to another active measuring device. Also each active measuring device(102,105) receives a test packet from another active measuring device(102,105), calculates network performance, and transmits a measured result to the server(101). Each passive measuring device(103,104) monitors and collects test packets according to the measurement schedule and transmits a measured result to the server(101).
