  • Patent number: 11329893
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a network evaluation service. The service collects live network traffic data for a client device in a network; stores a benchmark pattern model; determines a category of the live network traffic data based on a segment size; detects a first traffic pattern of the live network traffic data based on measured segment parameters for the category; matches the first traffic pattern to a second traffic pattern in the benchmark pattern model to identify a result; compares the live network traffic data with a benchmark application pattern from the benchmark pattern model; and identifies, based on the comparing, a level of degraded performance in the network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8515015
    Abstract: A method and system of an embodiment may provide a user interface enabling automated testing of a network device. The automated testing may include specifying a network device to be tested, specifying a network technology for testing the network device, specifying a client of the network device, configuring network connectivity for the network device, and enabling execution by the client of a network device of a test action. Configuring network connectivity may include dynamically configuring a network to include the specified network technology and the specified network device.
