Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for correlating measures of wireless traffic are disclosed. For example, the method obtains the wireless traffic, and processes the wireless traffic by a plurality of probe servers, where each of the plurality of probe servers generates a plurality of feeds, wherein the plurality of feeds comprises a data feed and a control feed. The method correlates the plurality of feeds from the plurality of probe servers, where the data feed and the control feed of each of the plurality of probe servers are correlated with at least one other probe server of the plurality of probe servers to provide a correlated control plane and a correlated data plane, and extracts at least partial path information of a flow from the correlated control plane. The method then correlates performance information from the correlated data plane for the flow.
