Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for analysing performance of a network. The method may comprise: obtaining first and second probe measurements resulting respectively from a test-message being sent from a first node and having a second node as the target thereof, and from a test-message being sent from the second node and having the first node as the target thereof, associated probe response-messages triggered by receipt and local processing of the test-messages at the target nodes thereof being sent back to the senders of the test-messages, the measurements relating to a network performance characteristic in respect of the paths taken by the test-messages and response-messages, and being dependent also on the local processing of the test-messages at the respective target nodes; comparing the measurements, assigning a weighting in respect of at least one of the nodes dependent on the comparison; and determining a network performance analysis measure according to a function dependent on at least one of the probe measurements and on the weighting.

Claim (Index 2):
A method according to  claim 1  wherein equal weightings are assigned in respect of the first and second nodes in the event that the comparison indicates that the first and second probe measurements differ by less than a predetermined amount.
