Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to manage port resources are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving a static threshold associated with a network parameter and receiving a current value associated with the network parameter. The example method also includes invoking a first response when the current value exceeds the static threshold, when the current value does not exceed the static threshold, receiving a second threshold associated with a rate of change value of the network parameter, and invoking a second response when the rate of change value exceeds the second threshold.
Claims27
A method to implement a dynamic network element performance threshold, comprising:
- receiving a static threshold associated with a network parameter;
- receiving a current value associated with the network parameter;
- invoking a first response when the current value exceeds the static threshold;
- when the current value does not exceed the static threshold, receiving a second threshold associated with a rate of change value of the network parameter;
- and
- invoking a second response when the rate of change value exceeds the second threshold.
11-13. (canceled)
A method to adjust a network element performance threshold, comprising:
- receiving a static threshold associated with a network parameter of interest;
- receiving a value associated with the network parameter of interest;
- identifying at least one influence parameter associated with the network parameter;
- receiving a network performance value associated with the at least one influence parameter;
- and
- adjusting the static threshold based on the received network performance value.
18-23. (canceled)
An apparatus to manage network port resources, comprising:
- a region interface manager to receive characteristic information from a plurality of network regions;
- a regional data repository to store the received characteristic information;
- at least one network tracker to measure and calculate at least one rate of change associated with the received characteristic information;
- and
- a network correlator to implement a dynamic network element performance threshold based on the at least one rate of change.
