Abstract
A system, for use with a broadband network, includes information means for obtaining information relating to network performance, and parameter means, coupled to the information means, for parameterizing the network performance information, with parameters providing information about network performance over time.
Claims22
A system for use with a broadband network, the system comprising:
- information means for obtaining information relating to network performance;
- and
- parameter means, coupled to the information means, for parameterizing the network performance information, with parameters providing information about network performance over time.
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to:
- accumulate data relating to performance of broadband network elements;
- and
- reduce the accumulated data relating to performance of multiple broadband network elements to a single value characterizing an aggregate amount of time that the network elements were at a corresponding quality of network performance during a designated time frame.
