Abstract
One preferred embodiment of the present invention provides systems and methods for analyzing the delivery performance of newsgroup services. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment, among others, includes a newsgroup evaluation system configured to determine a delivery rate for a newsgroup server. In other embodiments, methods and systems are provided for analyzing completion and retention for newsgroup services.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory storing machine readable instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- in response to receiving a request to evaluate a newsgroup server, measuring a completion rate for the newsgroup server by:
- identifying a number of multipart articles associated with the newsgroup server;
- and
- determining a percentage of the number of multipart articles that have all respective parts available on the newsgroup at a particular time;
- and
- comparing the percentage to a threshold to assess a completion grade for the newsgroup server.
A tangible machine readable storage device comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to perform a method comprising:
- measuring a completion rate for a newsgroup server by:
- identifying a number of multipart articles associated with the newsgroup server;
- and
- determining a percentage of the number of multipart articles that have all respective parts available on the newsgroup at a particular time;
- and
- comparing the percentage to a threshold to assess a completion grade for the newsgroup server.
A method, comprising:
- in response to receiving a request to evaluate a newsgroup server, measuring a completion rate for the newsgroup server by:
- identifying, via a processor, a number of multipart articles associated with the newsgroup server;
- and
- determining, via the processor, a percentage of the number of multipart articles that have all respective parts available on the newsgroup at a particular time;
- and
- comparing, via the processor, the percentage to a threshold to assess a completion grade for the newsgroup server.
