A distributed network performance measurement system and method based on access gateway

Abstract

The invention provides a distributed network performance measuring system and method based on access gateways. The measuring system and method involve testing and collecting the network performance status of an access network through developing and disposing a network performance measuring client in an embedded mode on the access gateways distributed at places; through the Internet, uploading the results of two test types of access gateway nodes distributed at places, i.e. the results of a one-step test and a long-time test to a database server; and further gathering and integrating test data of the gateway nodes through a center control server, and through a webpage form, displaying visualized long-time monitored performance situation change in a form of a distribution map, a line chart and the like through the overall network performance status of a service provider network. The system provided by the invention can accurately acquire and display long-time network performance status in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an embedded gateway technology and a distributed network performance measurement technology, in particular to a distributed network performance measurement system and method based on an access gateway. Background technique [0002] With the development of the Internet, the increasing number of users and the scale of network applications have greatly increased the network load, and the expansion of various Internet business traffic has put forward more and more urgent requirements for Internet network management and Internet user QoS guarantee. Network applications also need to know the current network support for applications. Therefore, ISP network service providers and Internet users need more accurate network performance measurement, monitoring network operation status, assisting network management, and providing QoS guarantee for Internet users. [0003] At present, a large number of network performance measurement tools t...

Problems solved by technology

Although there are many methods and tools for network performance measurement, there is no system dedicated to monitoring the network performance status of its subordinate access networks for large and complex networks like operators, nor does it use border gateways for network performance measurement. system

[0004] Existing network measurement methods and tools such as netperf have many configurable parameters and limited test indicators, and these measurement tools need to be deployed on PCs, which will be affected by the limitations of the gateway itself and the different configurations of different hosts

[0005] In traditional network performance measurement, in terms of network deployment, measuring instruments are often deployed inside the network or measurement hosts are deployed in the network. The measurement method is too ideal or the cost of deployment and removal is too high.
