ABSTRACT:
A network monitoring and management system (10) is provided for use in conjunction with a computer network array (12) including a plurality of identifiable branch arrays known as LANS (14). The system (10) includes a sampling assembly () including a plurality of probe computers (42) situated along selected ones of the LANS (14) for "capturing" data packets (22) and building probe objects (52) corresponding thereto. The system (10) further includes an analysis assembly () including a database computer (98) for receiving a plurality of probe objects (52) and manipulating them with a database builder routine (96) into database objects (100), which are stored in a database (99). The database (99) is then subject to analysis routines in a database management system (138) which extract and display information relating to the operational parameters of the computer network array (12), including a network map (144), a plurality of conversation path maps (150) and performance specifications. The overall system (10) is utilized by network managers to analyze, optimize and "tune" the network application performance. The system (10) is used to measure a transaction response time of a transaction on a distributed application in a way which is non-intrusive to the application by examining data packets for the presence or absence of session layer data.
