Baselining
Baselining is a method for analyzing computer network performance. The method is marked by comparing current performance to a historical metric, or "baseline". For example, if you measured the performance of a network switch over a period of time, you could use that performance figure as a comparative baseline if you made a configuration change to the switch.
Uses
Baselining is useful for many performance management tasks, including:
- Monitoring daily network performance
- Measuring trends in network performance
- Assessing whether network performance is meeting requirements laid out in a service agreement
