A method and system for monitoring traffic and path information in a packet communication network operated according to an IP routing protocol is disclosed. The method and system enables a user, such as a network administrator, to explicitly identify a full set of paths (i.e., links and routers) that the traffic of a specific customer or set of customers, such as service providers hosted at a hosting site, is using when traversing the network. The system allows the dynamic monitoring of the set of active links carrying traffic belonging to the specific customer or set of customers, and the proportion of that traffic that is carried by each active link. This allows, among other things, the identification of network links that are critical for ensuring a high level of service to key customers.
A method of determining traffic intensity associated with one or more users of a communications network, comprising:
A method of measuring traffic intensity in a communications network, comprising:
14 The method of claim 12 wherein the method is dynamically adjusted as paths and/or traffic intensity changes.
A method of measuring traffic intensity in a communications network, comprising:
18 The method of claim 15 wherein the method is dynamically adjusted as paths and/or traffic intensity changes.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions thereon for instructing a computing device to measuring traffic intensity in a communications network by a method comprising:
