A baseline can be defined using specific attributes of the network traffic. Using the established baseline, deviation can then be measured to detect anomaly on the network. The accuracy of the baseline is the most important criterion of any effective network anomaly detection technique. In a local area network (LAN) environment, the attributes change very frequently by many change agents; for example, new entities, such as users, application, and network-enabled devices, added to and removed from the LAN environment. The invention provides an improved method of establishing a baseline for network anomaly detection based on user's behaviour profiling. A user behaviour profiling is a distinct network usage pattern pertaining to a specific individual user operating on the LAN environment. No two users profiling would be the same. A group of users that have similar network usage attributes can be extrapolated using data mining technique to establish a group profiling baseline to detect network usage anomaly. By combining user and group profiling, a network anomaly detection system can measure subtle shift in network usage and as a result separate good user's network usage behaviour from the bad one. Using the said technique, a lower rate of false positives of network anomaly can be created that is suitable to operate in a highly dynamic LAN environment.

A system for identifying chronic performance problems on data networks includes network monitoring devices that provide measurements of performance metrics such as latency, jitter, and throughput, and a processing system for analyzing measurement data to identify the onset of chronic performance problems. Network behavior is analyzed to develop a baseline performance level (e.g., computing a mean and variance of a baseline sample of performance metric measurements). An operating performance level is measured during operation of the network (e.g., computing a mean and variance of an operating sample of performance metric measurements). A chronic performance problem is identified if the operating performance level exceeds a performance threshold and a difference between the baseline performance level and the operating performance level is determined to be statistically significant. A t-test based on the baseline mean and variance and the operating mean and variance can be used to determine if this difference is significant.

In a preferred embodiment, the communicated messages include an identifier of the application, and the processing components also associate an identifier of the application to each recorded processing event. To facilitate the integrated display of the events, the visualization system synchronizes the recorded communication and processing events to a common time base.
