Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring network performance, the system comprising: first and second network packet capture modules at first and second respective network locations, wherein each of the network packet capture modules is adapted to intercept network traffic at its network location and store first network traffic data at a first time scale; a central network traffic data flow module at a third network location, wherein the central network traffic data flow module is adapted to receive and store first summary network traffic data from the first and second network packet capture modules, wherein the first summary network traffic data is at a second time scale coarser than the first time scale; and wherein the central network traffic data flow module is further adapted to identify related network traffic data from the first and second network locations from the first summary network traffic data and to store references to the related network traffic data, wherein the related network traffic data is stored at the first time scale in the first and second network locations.
