NETWORK LINK MONITORING AND TESTING

摘要

In some embodiments, a link monitoring system (“LMS”) is configured to obtain link status metrics and packet transmission metrics for network links forming a network channel between a first network device and a second network device. The LMS can obtain link status metrics from the first network device and the second network device and can also initiate the generation of packets on the network links to obtain the packet transmission metrics. Based on the status metrics and packet transmission metrics, the LMS can determine if the network links are malfunctioning.

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
under control of a computing device configured with specific computer executable instructions:
isolating at least one network link of a network channel between a first computing asset and a second computing asset, wherein the network channel comprises a plurality of network links;obtaining active link information for the network channel, wherein the active link information corresponds to packet traffic on the at least one network link; anddetermining whether a network link of the network channel is malfunctioning based, at least in part, on the active link information.
