Abstract

A system and process are disclosed that allows the collection of events to be organized and ordered so that relationship between events and the events themselves can be identified as a state or series of states which describe and allow control of performance aspects of protocol activity. The architecture allows dynamic programming of multiple of devices for the purposes of coordination and correlation of events such that monitoring, performance analysis and control can be accomplished on a real-time basis for any speed network. The architecture facilitates feedback of the correlated events for the purposes of monitoring and controlling network activity.
