Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method of evaluating cloud network performance. The method includes: measuring a latency of a plurality of service requests in a cloud-network; determining a mean latency; and determining a variance of the plurality of service requests; comparing the mean latency to a first threshold; comparing the variance to a second threshold; and determining that the cloud-network is deficient if either the mean latency exceeds the first threshold or the variance exceeds the second threshold.
Claims20
A method of evaluating service latency performance in a cloud-network, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor communicatively connected to a memory, a latency of a plurality of service requests in the cloud-network;
- determining a mean latency of the plurality of service requests;
- determining a variance of the plurality of service requests;
- comparing the mean latency to a first threshold;
- comparing the variance to a second threshold;
- and
- determining that the cloud-network is deficient based on at least one of the mean latency exceeding the first threshold or the variance exceeding the second threshold.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions for determining a latency of a plurality of service requests in a cloud-network;
- instructions for determining a mean latency;
- instructions for determining a variance of the plurality of service requests;
- instructions for comparing the mean latency to a first threshold;
- instructions for comparing the variance to a second threshold;
- and
- instructions for determining that the cloud-network is deficient based on the mean latency exceeding the first threshold or variance exceeding the second threshold.
An apparatus for evaluating service latency performance in a cloud-network comprising:
- a data storage;
- and
- a processor communicatively connected to the data storage, the processor being configured to:
- determine a latency of a plurality of service requests in a cloud-network;
- determine a mean latency;
- determine a variance of the plurality of service requests;
- compare the mean latency to a first threshold;
- compare the variance to a second threshold;
- determine that the cloud-network is deficient based on the mean latency exceeding the first threshold or the variance exceeding the second threshold.
