Abstract

A system, method and computer program product are provided for network and network application monitoring. Accordingly, one or more media modules are each coupled to an associated network segment. In the case of network application monitoring, each media module is coupled to a network segment on which a network application is running. Each media module monitors and collects data relating to traffic on the associated network segment corresponding to the network application, wherein each media module is tailored for network analysis. An application server module is coupled to the at least one media module and receives the data and analyzes the data for helping to improve the performance of the network and/or network application.
