Publication number: 20140022928Abstract: An apparatus and method for scheduling multiple probes for monitoring of a network is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a group of multiple probes to be deployed over an IP network, each of the multiple probes measuring different performance metrics in the network. A schedule period is also identified, in which to schedule the deployment of the multiple probes in the group. An even or random mode of scheduling may be specified. In response the even mode of scheduling, the apparatus may schedule the deployment of the multiple probes in the defined group periodically in the schedule period and/or schedules the group of probes periodically. Alternatively, in response to the random mode of scheduling, the scheduling apparatus may schedule the deployment of each of the multiple probes in the defined group at random intervals and/or schedules the group of probes randomly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tom Zingale, Vishnu Kant Varma, Emmanuel Tychon, Wenwei Weng

Patent number: 8054750Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a virtual responder that can be contacted by any number of senders. When a sender wants to perform a measurement test with a real responder, the sender sends a control message to a virtual responder. The virtual responder is configured to determine a real responder based on real responder selection metrics. The virtual responder may poll the real responders at certain times to receive the real responder selection metrics. The virtual responder then selects a real responder from a plurality of real responders based on the real responder's selection metrics. The virtual responder then sends contact information for the selected real responder to the sender device. This allows the sender device to contact the selected real responder to perform the measurement test with a real responder.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Benoit Claise, Emmanuel Tychon

Patent number: 7898973Abstract: A system and method for measuring convergence performance in a network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of probes at a network device, temporarily storing data from at least a portion of the received probes and deleting at least a portion of the temporarily stored data at regular intervals, and receiving a packet indicating a convergence event and storing data from probes received over a predetermined period.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Clarence Filsfils, Kris Michielsen, Peter De Vriendt, Emmanuel Tychon

Patent number: 7716320Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for persisting management information indexes across multiple network elements. In particular, methods of detecting and curing potential collisions among a peer group of network elements by use of a hashing function can be provided in accordance with embodiments. For example, a method for maintaining persistence across network elements can include: (i) configuring one of the network elements, and providing a configuration string therefrom; (ii) performing a hashing algorithm on the configuration string to provide a hash value; (iii) determining if any collisions exists between the hash value and corresponding values from among a peer group of network elements; and (iv) assigning the hash value as a management table index when no collision is found, or assigning a new value for the management table index when a collision is found.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Benoit Claise, Emmanuel Tychon, Richard Wellum
