A system for analyzing a packet-based network includes a wireless network
analysis processing device that is configured to receive correlated
packet records representative of the order in which corresponding packets
are transmitted in a wireless network. The correlated packet records
include media access control (MAC) layer data and network layer data for
each corresponding packet. The MAC layer data and network layer data are
processed to generate network topology data representative of the network
topology, generate packet flow data representative of the flow of packets
between devices at the MAC layer and across the network at the network
layer, and measurement data relating to the packet flow data.
