Abstract

A method of analyzing packets performed by a computer, the method includes, for each of a plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of a plurality of periods, specifying a number of packets transmitted from each of a plurality of data transmission apparatuses, specifying a number of times that a transmission interval of the packets is equal to or larger than a first value, specifying a ratio of the number of times to the number of packets, specifying amount of increase of the ratio for a period immediately before each of the plurality of periods, specifying a period in which the number of the data transmission apparatuses of which the amount of increase is equal to or larger than a second value is equal to or larger than a third value among the plurality of periods, and outputting first information indicating the specified period.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of analyzing packets performed by a computer, the method comprising:
for each of a plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of a plurality of periods, specifying a number of packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying a number of times that a transmission interval of the packets is equal to or larger than a first value; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying a ratio of the number of times to the number of packets; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying amount of increase of the ratio for a period immediately before each of the plurality of periods; specifying a period in which the number of the data transmission apparatuses of which the amount of increase is equal to or larger than a second value is equal to or larger than a third value among the plurality of periods; and outputting first information indicating the specified period.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
setting the second value based on an average of the amount of increase of the ratio and a standard deviation of the amount of increase of the ratio.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of increase of the ratio is an increasing rate of the ratio.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
outputting, in time series, second information indicating whether the packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses are missing.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
setting the first value for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses based on a retransmission start time until each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses retransmits the packets.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
outputting third information specifying each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses in a storage device of the computer; and specifying the ratio for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods using the packets stored in the storage device.

8 . A method of analyzing packets performed by a computer, the method comprising:
for each of a plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of a plurality of periods, specifying a number of packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying a number of times that a transmission interval of the packets is equal to or larger than a first value; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying a first ratio of the number of times to the number of packets; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specifying amount of increase of the first ratio for a period immediately before each of the plurality of periods; for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses, specifying a second ratio of a number of periods in which the amount of increase is equal to or larger than a second value to the number of the plurality of periods; for each of the plurality of periods, specifying the data transmission apparatuses in which the amount of increase of the first ratio is equal to or larger than the second value, from the plurality of data transmission apparatuses; specifying a period, in which a value acquired by mutually multiplying the second ratio of the specified data transmission apparatuses is equal to or smaller than a third value, among the plurality of periods; and outputting first information indicating the specified period.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
setting the second value based on an average of the amount of increase of the first ratio and a standard deviation of the amount of increase of the first ratio.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the amount of increase of the first ratio is an increasing rate of the first ratio.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
outputting, in time series, second information indicating whether the packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses are missing.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
setting the first value for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses based on a retransmission start time until each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses retransmits the packets.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
outputting third information specifying each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses.

14 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
storing the packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses in a storage device of the computer; and specifying the first ratio for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods using the packets stored in the storage device.

15 . An analysis device comprising:
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
for each of a plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of a plurality of periods, specify a number of packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses,
for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specify a number of times that a transmission interval of the packets is equal to or larger than a first value,
for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specify a ratio of the number of times to the number of packets,
for each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses and for each of the plurality of periods, specify amount of increase of the ratio for a period immediately before each of the plurality of periods,
specify a period in which the number of the data transmission apparatuses of which the amount of increase is equal to or larger than a second value is equal to or larger than a third value among the plurality of periods, and
output first information indicating the specified period.

16 . The analysis device according to claim 15 , wherein
the processor is further configured to set the second value based on an average of the amount of increase of the ratio and a standard deviation of the amount of increase of the ratio.

17 . The analysis device according to claim 15 , wherein
the amount of increase of the ratio is an increasing rate of the ratio.

18 . The analysis device according to claim 15 , wherein
the processor is further configured to output, in time series, second information indicating whether the packets transmitted from each of the plurality of data transmission apparatuses are missing.

19 . The analysis device according to claim 15 , wherein
