Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system to monitor network performance in a computer including at least one physical server having a hardware machine attached via a hypervisor to a set of virtual machines. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system measures network performance parameters for selected packet flows in transition between the hardware machine and the virtual machines, analyzes the measured performance parameters, and identifies a source of network degradation.
