Patents by Inventor Bruce Sweet

Bruce Sweet has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Real-time network performance monitoring system and related methods
    Patent number: 7711751
    Abstract: Network performance data is collected, recorded, and normalized. In one embodiment, a set of first performance data collected by an agent in response to network transactions initiated by the agent and a second set of performance data resulting from passively monitoring traffic on the network are received. The first and second sets of performance data are normalized to create a set of constantly formatted network performance data capable of convenient analysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 4, 2010
    Assignee: Netscout Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Bruce Kelley, Anil Singhal, Ashwani Singhal, Rajeev Nadkarni, Bruce Sweet
  • Managing computer resources
    Patent number: 6836800
    Abstract: Computer resources are managed by a method that includes deriving, from historical measurement information for a computer resource, values for statistical variables, and, based on the values, determining whether a behavioral pattern for the computer resource is represented in the historical measurement information.

  • Evaluating computer resources
    Publication number: 20030115266
    Abstract: To closely simulate the experience of an end user, a software agent executes where the end user would be situated and attempts to exercise a computer resource such as a networked application or a network resource in a simulated transaction in exactly or nearly exactly the same way that the computer resource would be exercised by the end user in non-simulated transaction. The results of the simulated transaction and of other simulated transactions by other software agents are communicated to a central software system for recordation and analysis.
