Abstract:
A system may receive raw information associated with a network and may prepare the raw information to create optimized information. The optimized information may include the raw information that has been sorted. The system may correlate the optimized information to create a set of correlated information. The system may aggregate at least two sets of correlated information to create aggregated information. The system may determine that network analytics are to be performed using the set of correlated information or the aggregated information. The system may determine information associated with performing the network analytics, including the set of correlated information or the aggregated information. The system may perform the network analytics based on the information associated with performing the network analytics. The system may provide a result associated with performing the network analytics. The result may indicate a manner in which to improve a performance of the network.
Abstract:
A network device is configured to receive information from a plurality of device. The network device is configured to further analyze the information and determine that a performance or fault issue exists relating to operation of a device. The network device is configured to further send first information to a user device. The user device is to receive an instruction on eliminating the performance or fault issue. The network device is configured to further receive second information to resolve the performance of fault issue relating to the operation of the device; and send a notification to resolve the performance or fault issue relating to the operation of the device.
Abstract:
A device may receive machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic associated with two or more M2M applications. The M2M traffic may include information that identifies two or more priority levels associated with the M2M traffic. The device may determine parameters associated with managing the M2M traffic. The device may determine a traffic rate, an overall holding time, and an outgoing traffic rate associated with the M2M traffic. The device may determine a normalization factor based on the overall holding time and the parameters. The device may determine a set of priority level holding times based on the normalization factor, the overall holding time, and the parameters. Each priority level holding time may be associated with a priority level of the two or more priority levels. The device may manage the M2M traffic based on the set of priority level holding times and the outgoing traffic rate.
Abstract:
A first network device may receive an instruction to transmit a data flow and select a particular second network device based on a selection rule. The particular second network device providing may provide to an external network. The first network device may identify a path to the particular second network device. The particular path may include one or more third network devices that are different from the first network device. The first network device may provide the data flow to the particular second network device via the path to cause the particular second network device to transmit the data flow towards a destination device.
Abstract:
A network socket application programming interface (API) running on a communication device is operative to provide, to applications running on the device, information about the performance of communication links used by sockets for communicating across a network. The socket API receives packets associated with sockets, and retrieves from the packets performance information for corresponding communication links. In response to receiving a request from an application for performance information associated with a particular socket, the API identifies performance information for the particular socket and returns the retrieved information to the application. A performance monitoring network device provides the performance information. The performance monitoring device stores information about the performance of a plurality of communication links used by sockets of communications devices in the network, and inserts the performance information for particular sockets into associated packets before transmitting the packets to corresponding communication devices.
Abstract:
A device may receive information that identifies a radio frequency condition of a user device, where the radio frequency condition indicates a quality of a radio access network connection of the user device. The device may determine a radio frequency parameter value based on the radio frequency condition, and may set a data rate for a transmission control protocol (“TCP”) communication with the user device based on the radio frequency parameter value.
Abstract:
A device may be configured to determine a current state of each of multiple operator network devices that provide a service via an operator network. The device may determine an allowable event at an operator network device based on the current state of the operator network device and model information that models behavior of the operator network device for the service. The device may monitor events at the operator network devices during a session. The device may detect that an allowable event for the operator network device does not occur during the session. The device may determine that a fault occurred at the operator network device during the session based on the allowable event not being detected at the operator network device. The device may provide fault information that indicates the fault occurred at the operator network device.
Abstract:
A device may be configured to store advertisement control information for an advertisement. The advertisement control information may indicate a target demographic for the advertisement. The device may receive the advertisement to be provided to a user device via an operator network. The device may receive user information that indicates a demographic of a user of the user device. The device may determine a quality of service level with which to provide the advertisement to the user device. The quality of service level may be determined based on the target demographic and the demographic of the user. The device may provide the advertisement to the user device, via the operator network, at the determined quality of service level.
Abstract:
A device receives packet information associated with a traffic flow and a network segment. The network segment includes a portion of a network via which the traffic flow is transmitted. The device associates the received packet information with a period of time. The device determines that the period of time has expired, and aggregates the received packet information based on determining that the period of time has expired. The device determines a network performance parameter associated with the traffic flow over the network segment based on the aggregated packet information. The device generates performance information that identifies the network performance parameter, the traffic flow, and the network segment. The device provides the performance information.
Abstract:
A device may receive performance information for a traffic flow assigned to a quality of service (QoS) class. The device may determine an overall packet delay, associated with the traffic flow, based on the performance information. The device may determine a radio access network (RAN) delay, associated with the traffic flow, based on the performance information. The device may determine a target packet delay associated with the QoS class. The device may identify, based on the target packet delay, the RAN delay, and the overall packet delay, a QoS sub-class to which the traffic flow is to be assigned. The QoS sub-class may be associated with the QoS class. The device may cause packets, associated with the traffic flow, to be marked for treatment in accordance with the QoS sub-class.
