Managing Media Distribution Based on a Service Quality Index Value

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory accessible to the processor, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at a computing device, first measurement data from a first device, wherein the first device is a first element of a communication path, and wherein the first measurement data corresponds to a first measured parameter associated with performance of the communication path;
• receiving, at the computing device, second measurement data from a second device, wherein the second device is a second element of the communication path, wherein the second measurement data corresponds to a second measured parameter associated with performance of the communication path, and wherein the second measured parameter is distinct from the first measured parameter;
• and
• determining a service quality index value corresponding to performance of the communication path based on the first measurement data and the second measurement data.

A computer-readable storage device including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, first measurement data from a first device, wherein the first device is a first element of a communication path, and wherein the first measurement data corresponds to a first measured parameter associated with performance of the communication path;
• receiving, at the computing device, second measurement data from a second device, wherein the second device is a second element of the communication path, wherein the second measurement data corresponds to a second measured parameter associated with performance of the communication path, and wherein the second measured parameter is distinct from the first measured parameter;
• and
• determining a service quality index value corresponding to performance of the communication path based on the first measurement data and the second measurement data.
