Patent ID: 8694627

Claim:
A method for correlating performance information, comprising: obtaining, by a plurality of probe servers, the wireless traffic; processing the wireless traffic by the plurality of probe servers, where each of the plurality of probe servers generates a plurality of feeds, wherein the plurality of feeds comprises a data feed and a control feed; correlating the plurality of feeds from the plurality of probe servers by an aggregator server of a plurality of aggregator servers, where the data feed and the control feed of a first probe server of the plurality of probe servers are correlated with the data feed and the control feed of a second probe server of the plurality of probe servers to provide a correlated control plane and a correlated data plane; extracting, by the aggregator server, at least partial path information of a flow from the correlated control plane; filling in, by the aggregator server, any missing path information of the flow using external topology information; and correlating, by the aggregator server, the performance information from the correlated data plane for the flow.
