ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring a network includes determining at least one of a jitter value or a delay value of a network connection between a source switch and a destination switch of the network. The method further includes determining a packet delivery rate value for each network segment of a sequence of one or more network segments connecting the source switch and the destination switch, each network segment comprising two switches, wherein at least one of the two switches is connected to one of a switch of another network segment, the source switch, or the destination switch. The method additionally includes determining an overall packet delivery rate value based on the one or more packet delivery rate values determined for each network segment of the sequence of one or more network segments.
