An Integrated Network Performance Monitor System

Network performance monitor has now become a central issue in network application and operation optimization. This article describes an integrated network performance monitor system using a combination of active and passive measurement techniques. Active probing technique is used for overall network performance monitor, and passive monitoring technique is used for local network performance information collection and analysis. The integrated network performance monitor system combing two measurement techniques is a brand-new idea. Experiment results indicate this system is effective and of a definite practicability.
