Methods, apparatuses, and systems for network analysis

A method for deduplicating event messages during a network analysis operation comprising:

• receiving a first event message comprising a sequence identifier from a first satellite device;
• in response to receiving the first event message, opening an event window with a predefined length;
• receiving at least one second event message comprising the sequence identifier from a second satellite device prior to closing the event window;
• determining that the time period corresponding to the event window has elapsed;
• closing the event window;
• combining the first event message and the at least one second event message to generate an aggregated message;
• and
• processing the aggregated message to determine a network status.

An apparatus for providing network analysis comprising a processor coupled to a memory, the apparatus configured to:

• receive, by a controller device, a first event message comprising a sequence identifier from a first satellite device;
• in response to receiving the first event message, open an event window with a predefined length;
• receive at least one second event message comprising the sequence identifier from a second satellite device prior to closing the event window;
• determine that the time period corresponding to the event window has elapsed;
• close the event window;
• combine the first event message and the at least one second event message to generate an aggregated message;
• and
• process the aggregated message to determine a network status.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to deduplicate event messages during a network analysis operation by at least:

• receiving a first event message comprising a sequence identifier from a first satellite device;
• in response to receiving the first event message, opening an event window with a predefined length;
• receiving at least one second event message comprising the sequence identifier from a second satellite device prior to closing the event window;
• determining that the time period corresponding to the event window has elapsed;
• closing the event window;
• combining the first event message and the at least one second event message to generate an aggregated message;
• and
• processing the aggregated message to determine a network status.
