1. A system for locating performance problems in a network comprising:
a test module associating metadata, relating to any number of hops in the network, from test packets to a plurality of test sessions, each plurality of test sessions including at least one of the test packets going from one of a plurality of first devices in the network to one of a plurality of second devices in the network via one of a plurality of crossing tested paths, each one of the plurality of crossing tested paths including at least one of the hops in the network;
a reflection module collecting the metadata relating to the hops in the network, and one or more performance threshold breaches of the crossing tested paths of said plurality of test sessions from only the plurality of second devices, and creating a correlation of said performance threshold breaches across the plurality of test sessions by matching the metadata relating to the hops;
a computer display for displaying said correlation on a logical event map representing the tested paths, the hops and the first and second devices in the network, and a number of the performance threshold breaches involving each of the hops;
wherein said correlation isolates the hops impacting said performance threshold breaches; and
wherein the logical event map displays a number of violation counts for each hop in the any number of hops.
