ANALYSIS OF NETWORK PERFORMANCE USING DETERMINISTIC DECENTRALIZED SCHEDULING ACROSS DISTRIBUTED TEST AGENTS

摘要

A method and system for testing of a communication network utilizing a plurality of test agents in the communication network using a deterministic decentralized scheduling of the plurality of test agents to test a single network service. Determining an optimal time period for executing a test of the single network service by each of the plurality of test agents without requiring global knowledge of the system and without requiring centralized coordination of individual agent test schedules.
