NETWORK APPLICATIONS MONITORING

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing network performance monitoring is disclosed. At least one application is run on a network controller. The at least one application running on the network controller sends a request for performance data information to a performance database manager (PDM). A response to the request for performance data information is received from the PDM. A method for determining a service path using network performance monitoring data is disclosed. Performance data is determined for one or more applications. A service path is assigned by steering traffic to a particular instance of each of the one or more applications using the performance data. The steered traffic is forwarded to a next application based on a current position along a service path.
