Abstract
The present invention is directed to network monitoring systems. Test probes available for use in connection with network monitoring are registered. As part of the registration of test probes, information related to the type of device implemented by each test probe is also collected. Information related to the network or subnetwork with which each device is associated may also be collected. The collected information may therefore comprise system topology discovery. In addition, the collected information may be used to select distributions of device types in order to implement particular test schemes or protocols.
