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.
