Abstract
A network capacity planning system for forecasting and scheduling of network capacity for electronic devices is provided. A server monitors usage of a network associated with the electronic devices. The server analyzes a frequency of a transmission of data packets between the electronic devices and the network, and a time duration of a network busy time based on predetermined thresholds. The server uses results of the analysis to drive a dynamic mechanism, which identifies when a bandwidth associated with the network needs to be upgraded to support the growing network bandwidth requirements. The server adjusts a network capacity value of a network routing device associated with the network to support the required bandwidth for an operation of the electronic devices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- periodically monitoring, by a server, a network traffic value of a network routing device, wherein the network traffic value corresponds to a measured volume of data packets communicated between a network and a set of electronic devices through the network routing device and a timestamp of the communicated data packets, the network routing device having a network capacity value corresponding to a maximum volume of data packets communicated, and the network traffic value indicates a percentage of an amount of time the network routing device is communicating data packets to the set of electronic devices at a network capacity threshold over a period of time;
- and
- displaying, by the server, a dashboard comprising the network traffic value of the network routing device.
A system comprising:
- a server in communication with network routing device, the server comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- periodically monitor a network traffic value of a network routing device, wherein the network traffic value corresponds to a measured volume of data packets communicated between a network and a set of electronic devices through the network routing device and a timestamp of the communicated data packets, the network routing device having a network capacity value corresponding to a maximum volume of data packets communicated, and the network traffic value indicates a percentage of an amount of time the network routing device is communicating data packets to the set of electronic devices at a network capacity threshold over a period of time;
- and
- display a dashboard comprising the network traffic value of the network routing device.
A system comprising:
- a server configured to:
- periodically monitor a network traffic value of a network routing device, wherein the network traffic value corresponds to a measured volume of data packets communicated between a network and a set of electronic devices through the network routing device and a timestamp of the communicated data packets, the network routing device having a network capacity value corresponding to a maximum volume of data packets communicated, and the network traffic value indicates a percentage of an amount of time the network routing device is communicating data packets to the set of electronic devices at a network capacity threshold over a period of time;
- and
- display a dashboard comprising the network traffic value of the network routing device.
