Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein determine a location independent network delay via a network monitoring device. Such techniques particularly include determining various delays such as a zero window delay, an advertised window delay, and a congestion window delay (including slow start delays).

Abstract: A wheeled stepladder platform apparatus for easily moving a stepladder includes a base frame having a left side, a right side, a back side, and a front side forming a rectangle and a crossmember extending from the back side to the front side in parallel opposition to the left side. Each of the left side, the right side, the back side, the front side, and the crossmember is L-shaped and has a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The base frame is configured to support a stepladder on the horizontal portion. The base frame comprises a back left section, a front left section, a back right section, a front right section, and a plurality of joiner sections joined with a plurality of hardware through a plurality of mounting apertures. A plurality of wheels is coupled to the base frame.

Abstract: An apparatus for associating WAN optimization attributes with performance metrics of transactions between hosts on a network includes a network management device, a processor, and a display device. The network management device monitors data traffic between hosts communicating over the network and collects WAN optimization information relating to the data traffic. The data traffic includes individual flows between the hosts, and the individual flows include individual transactions involving exchanges of packets. The processor computes at least one performance metric for individual transactions between the hosts and determines what types, if any, of WAN optimization were applied to the individual transactions. The display device displays on an individual transaction basis the performance metric in combination with either the types of WAN optimization applied to the individual transaction or an indication that no WAN optimization was applied to the individual transaction.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining and displaying a transaction reset metric of individual transactions between host devices operating over a network includes a network management device, a processor, and a display device. The network management device monitors flows between the hosts, where the individual flows include individual transactions involving exchanges of packets. The network management device identifies flow resets that terminate flows between hosts. The processor evaluates the flow resets by identifying each flow reset that occurred during an incomplete transaction as a transaction reset and computes a transaction reset count metric as the sum of transaction resets that occur. The processor also identifies individual transactions terminated by a transaction reset. The display device displays on an individual transaction basis whether or not individual transactions were terminated by a transaction reset and displays the transaction reset count metric for selected portions of the network under test.
