The visualisation of application delay metrics for a customer network
Pages 137 - 144
Abstract
Application services are fundamental network components that allow organizations the ability to operate efficiently. It has become essential for organizations to monitor the performance of these critical applications. Traditional network analysis tools, however, cannot cope with the size of today's network infrastructures and the volume of network data generated. The goal of this paper is to discuss the development of a visualisation system, called AppVis, that uses information visualisation techniques which are novel to this domain. This system will enable UPE to effectively visualise the application delay performance of the ITS application implemented on the network.

Application performance metrics for evaluating delay estimation schemes
APCC'09: Proceedings of the 15th Asia-Pacific conference on CommunicationsDelay estimation schemes have been proposed to estimate the n2 delays between n hosts using only O(n) measurements. Each scheme has been shown accurate when evaluated using an aggregated metric. However, their accuracy is low using metrics that evaluate ...
