Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for analysing network performance of a network comprising network nodes. The method may comprise: obtaining probe measurements by sending probe test-messages via a path from a testing node to a first target node, and also by sending probe test-messages via a path from the testing node via the first target node to a subsequent target node, the probe measurements relating to a network performance characteristic in respect of the paths taken by the probe test-messages and probe response-messages associated therewith and being dependent also on local processing of the probe test-messages at the respective target nodes; comparing the probe measurements; in dependence on the comparison, assigning a weighting in respect of the first target node indicative of whether it is deemed likely to be providing reliable or unreliable results; and determining a network performance analysis measure dependent on the probe measurements and on the weighting.

Claim (Index 8):
A method according to  claim 1  wherein subsequent probe measurements are obtained in respect of a subset of one or more target nodes selected from the plurality of target nodes, the subset comprising one or more target nodes selected in dependence on the comparison.
