Abstract:
1. A system comprising a processor to simulate a network and to create a plurality of virtual elements in said network, and further to simulate a network condition and to measure a portion of a response time of an application, said application run-over said simulated network under said simulated condition, said portion attributed to one of said virtual elements: wherein said portion comprises a first value for said portion, and wherein a parameter value of said element is equal to a first parameter value for said element, and wherein said processor is to: alter said first parameter value for said element to a second parameter value for said element; calculate a second value for said portion of said response time attributed to said element, said second value for said portion evaluated under said second parameter value for said element; and wherein said processor is to compare said first value for said portion to said second value for said portion.
