ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is described for remote monitoring of a business site network. One or more remote satellite systems may be strategically positioned at different points on the Internet that are close to backbone networks in order to monitor and evaluate typical user interactions with a business site. By positioning the remote satellite systems at points near backbones approximate to those of users accessing a business site, a more accurate analysis of a site's performance may be performed that better reflects the experience that similarly connected users experience. Various network and system parameters of a business site may be monitored, such as threshold timing parameters and correctness parameters.
