We Claim:
1. A method for managing performance data of a node in a network, the
method comprising:
- transmitting, by a 5 transceiver unit [202], a counter reset request to at least
one of a plurality of nodes in the network;
- in response to the counter reset request, receiving, by the transceiver unit
[202], via a load balancer associated with at least one of the plurality of
nodes, Performance Management (PM) data from said nodes;
10 - updating, by a processing unit [204], the PM data by adding an instance
metadata; and
- transmitting, by the transceiver unit [202], the updated PM data to a storage
unit [206].
15 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
configuring, by the processing unit [204], a scheduler to initiate the
transmission of counter reset request to at least one of the plurality of nodes
in the network at a pre-defined time interval.
20 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
storing by a storage unit [206] a copy of the transmitted counter reset request
in a cache database; and
allocating a counter reset request flow id to the stored copy of counter reset
request.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the load balancer is configured
to receive the PM data from at least one of the plurality of nodes, and
wherein receiving, by the transceiver unit [202], via the load balancer, the
PM data from at least one of the plurality of nodes comprises receiving the
27
PM data from the load balancer based on a round-robin selection mechanism
implemented by the load balancer.
5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein upon receiving, by the
transceiver unit [202], 5 the PM data from one of the plurality of nodes, the
method further comprises:
removing the copy of stored counter reset request from the cache database.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: storing the updated
10 PM data, by the storage unit [206] via a PM node, into a secondary database,
wherein the P
