Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
analyzing, via a first capturing agent deployed on a hypervisor of a first host, first packets associated with the first host to yield first data at a first level of analysis, wherein the first packets include data flowing through the hypervisor and through one or more virtual machines of the first host;
analyzing, via a second capturing agent deployed on a network device, second packets associated with the network device to yield second data at a second level of analysis, wherein the second packets include data flowing through the network device;
collecting, via a collector, the first data and the second data during a period of time to yield aggregated data, the period of time including at least a duration of a predefined event;
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.
