Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for network server performance anomaly detection are disclosed. According to one aspect of the subject matter disclosed, a method is disclosed for real-time computation of an endpoint performance measure based on transport and network layer header information. The method includes passively collecting transport and network layer header information from packet traffic in a network. Connections in the network are modeled using an abstract syntax for characterizing a sequence of application-level bidirectional interactions between endpoints of each connection and delays between the interactions. Application-level characteristics of the packet traffic are determined based on the modeled connections. A performance measure of at least one endpoint is computed based on the application-level characteristics and the modeled connections.
