Abstract
The present invention provides embodiments of a network monitoring system that includes a scheduling agent for generating groupings of test agents and scheduling network measurements to be performed by each test agent grouping. The system may provide identifiers to members of first and second sets of objects. Then, the system can generate first and second sequences of the identifiers for each of the first and second sets, respectively and associate the identifiers to provide a plurality of groupings of identifiers. Finally the system may schedule a corresponding event for each of the grouping of identifiers. The systems and methods present can require very little state memory, ensure fair coverage of the object groupings; and can avoid the problems associated with round robin scheduling.
