  • Patent number: 6763380
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for tracking network device performance are provided which, in various embodiments, may track device performance by acquiring and storing routing information for communication connections over the network on a scheduled basis during normal operations and responsive to exception events. Network performance measurements may be obtained on a repeated basis, for example, pursuant to a test schedule. The performance measurements may be obtained from either active or passive testing. A traceroute may be initiated for a plurality of connections (for example, client to server) on a repeated basis, for example, a periodic basis, and the performance measurements for each connection for the same time period may be associated with the detected routing information to provide baseline information relating to the performance of one or more routes which support each connection.
