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 4):
A method according to  claim 1  wherein respective weightings are assigned in respect of a plurality of said target nodes such that said network performance analysis measure is independent of one or more probe measurements in respect of one or more of said respective target nodes.
