Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
collecting first data and second data during a period of time to yield aggregated data, the period of time including at least a duration of a predefined event, wherein:
the first data is captured via a first capturing agent deployed on a hypervisor of a first host and the first data is yielded from first packets associated with the first host at a first level of analysis, the first packets include data flowing through the hypervisor and through one or more virtual machines of the first host, and
the second data is captured via a second capturing agent deployed on a network device and the second data is yielded from second packets associated with the network device at a second level of analysis, the second packets include data flowing through the network device; comparing the aggregated data to identify a delta; and

analyzing the delta to determine whether the delta represents a packet loss or is a result of a network topology.
