System for specifying cause of microburst occurrence and method for specifying cause of microburst occurrence

A method for specifying a cause of microburst occurrence using a microburst detection apparatus, a packet extraction apparatus, and a cause analysis apparatus, the method comprising:

• detecting a microburst of a control plane packet and extracting call information for identifying call of a data plane from the control plane packet which forms the detected microburst, the detecting and the extracting being performed by the microburst detection apparatus;
• extracting a data plane packet corresponding to the call information extracted by the microburst detection apparatus, the extracting being performed by the packet extraction apparatus;
• and
• analyzing a payload of an application layer of the data plane packet extracted by the packet extraction apparatus, specifying a service/application which causes occurrence of the microburst, counting the number of data plane packets in response to the specified service/application, and displaying the counted number of packets associated with the specified service/application, the analyzing, the specifying, the counting, and the displaying being performed by the cause analysis apparatus.
