Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing network performance monitoring using a switch running a service monitoring (SERMON) client is disclosed. A request for SERMON metrics is received from a performance database manager (PDM). The request is sent to the SERMON server designated in the request. The SERMON server is running in a service host. A reply is received from the SERMON server. The reply is sent to the PDM.A method and apparatus for providing network performance monitoring using a service host running a service monitoring (SERMON) server is disclosed. In one embodiment, a request is received from a SERMON client. SERMON data is collected using a kernel thread. The collected data is sent in a reply to the SERMON client.
