Uplink performance management

Previously available network monitoring and management systems fail to provide an indication about how uplink traffic is handled at or beyond the network access point. By contrast, various implementations disclosed herein provide uplink performance monitoring and management from a client device, which is located on one side of an access point, to a destination that is located on the other side of the access point. For example, in some implementations, a method of uplink performance management is provided that includes transmitting a plurality of uplink test packets from a client device, determining a response to the transmission of the plurality of uplink test packets through the network access point, and generating one or more uplink performance values according to the determined response, the one or more uplink performance values characterizing how uplink traffic is handled between the client device and the destination both to and beyond the network access point.
