Method and system for alert throttling in media quality monitoring

A system for alert throttling in media quality monitoring, comprising:

• an interface operable to:
• monitor a plurality of active communication sessions, each active communication session between at least two endpoints;
• and
• detect at least one quality-impacted communication session out of the plurality of active communication sessions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the interface and operable to:
• generate a first alert for each detected quality-impacted communication session out of the plurality of communication sessions until a first throttling number of quality-impacted communication sessions is detected out of the plurality of active communication sessions;
• and
• upon detecting the first throttling number of quality-impacted communication sessions, generate a second alert for each group of additional second number of quality-impacted communication sessions detected out of the plurality of active communication sessions.

A computer readable medium encoded with computer software, executed by a processor to perform steps to:

• monitor at an interface, a plurality of active communication sessions, each active communication session between at least two endpoints;
• detect at an interface, at least one quality-impacted communication session out of the plurality of active communication sessions;
• generate by the processor, a first alert for each detected quality-impacted communication session out of the plurality of active communication sessions until a first throttling number of quality-impacted communication sessions is detected out of the plurality of active communication sessions;
• and upon detecting the first throttling number of quality-impacted communication sessions, generate by the processor, a second alert for each group of additional second number of quality-impacted communication sessions detected out of the plurality of active communication sessions.
