Abstract
An aspect of the present disclosure discloses a method for diagnosing a network performance in an apparatus for diagnosing network performance connected to a switching device provided between a first entity and a second entity. The method may include: obtaining at least one mirrored packet for at least one packet transmitted between the first entity and the second entity based on mirroring from the switching device, calculating performance related indicator representing performance of a network service associated with the first entity and the second entity based on at least a part of information included in the at least one mirrored packet, and storing the calculated performance related indicators.

A method for diagnosing network performance in an apparatus connected to a switching device provided between a first entity and a second entity, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one mirrored packet for at least one packet transmitted between the first entity and the second entity based on mirroring from the switching device;
- calculating performance related indicators representing performance of a network service associated with the first entity and the second entity based on at least a part of information included in the at least one mirrored packet;
- storing the calculated performance related indicators;
- and
- determining whether a problem of the network service occurs based on at least a part of the performance related indicators,
- wherein the determining whether the network service problem occurs includes:
- comparing at least one of bits per second (BPS) information representing a transmission bit size of a data per second and connections per second (CPS) information representing a number of new sessions connected per second with at least one of a threshold value associated with the BPS information and a threshold value associated with the CPS information;
- and
- when at least one of the CPS information and the BPS information is greater than at least one of the threshold value associated with the CPS information and the threshold value associated with the BPS information, determining a problem of BPS excess or CPS excess to occur.
An apparatus for diagnosing network performance connected to a switching device provided between a first entity and a second entity, the apparatus comprising:
- a port for obtaining at least one mirrored packet for at least one packet transmitted between the first entity and the second entity based on mirroring from the switching device;
- a packet analysis module for calculating performance related indicators representing performance of a network service associated with the first entity and the second entity based on at least a part of information included in the at least one mirrored packet and determining whether a problem of the network service occurs based on at least a part of the performance related indicators;
- and
- a storage for storing the calculated performance related indicators,
- wherein the packet analysis module is configured to
- compare at least one of bits per second (BPS) information representing a transmission bit size of a data per second and connections per second (CPS) information representing a number of new sessions connected per second with at least one of a threshold value associated with the BPS information and a threshold value associated with the CPS information, and
- when at least one of the CPS information and the BPS information is greater than at least one of the threshold value associated with the CPS information and the threshold value associated with the BPS information, determine a problem of BPS excess or CPS excess to occur.
A system for diagnosing network performance, the system comprising:
- a switching device provided between a first entity and a second entity;
- and
- an apparatus for diagnosing network performance for obtaining at least one mirrored packet for at least one packet transmitted between the first entity and the second entity based on mirroring from the switching device, calculating performance related indicators representing performance of a network service associated with the first entity and the second entity based on at least a part of information included in the at least one mirrored packet, determining whether a problem of the network service occurs based on at least a part of the performance related indicators, and storing the calculated performance related indicators,
- wherein the apparatus for diagnosing network performance is configured to
- compare at least one of bits per second (BPS) information representing a transmission bit size of a data per second and connections per second (CPS) information representing a number of new sessions connected per second with at least one of a threshold value associated with the BPS information and a threshold value associated with the CPS information, and
- when at least one of the CPS information and the BPS information is greater than at least one of the threshold value associated with the CPS information and the threshold value associated with the BPS information, determine a problem of BPS excess or CPS excess to occur.
