摘要:
A data monitoring apparatus for monitoring a communications network comprises a processor; a data storage medium; a graphical user interface; a plurality of communications ports for communicating with network elements, eg switches, cross-connects; a data visualization module; a navigation engine module for searching data; a data extraction engine module for accessing and obtaining data for data sources including the data storage medium and said network elements; a task engine module for filtering a search of data, a graph engine module for preparing data into graphical format, a module for controlling the other modules and an intelligent help module to guide a user of the apparatus. A management information base stores a network model data and technology model data which is arranged in the data visualizer module into a three dimensional data space. Network elements are represented at discrete data locations within a 3D data space of the data storage medium.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to a method of monitoring a communications network comprising a plurality of node equipment, eg switches, and link equipment, eg fibre optic links, in which performance parameters of individual components of the node equipment are used to determine an overall performance parameter for the node equipment. By comparing like performance parameters for individual network elements, the performance of different types of network element can be compared with each other. Parameters which can be monitored include quality of service, cell discard cell loss and other measures of network performance. Connection tracing through the plurality of node equipment and link equipment is also achieved by identifying the communications connection across a plurality of network elements (221), collecting data signals containing data of an operational parameter (223, 225) processing the collected signals (224, 226) and displaying the processed data relating to the identified network elements (227).

By comparing like performance parameters for individual network elements, the performance of different types of network element can be compared with each other. Parameters which can be monitored include quality of service, cell discard, cell loss, and other measures of network performance. The method includes selecting a network element (170), obtaining a set of data signals describing operation of a component (172) and generating data signals describing an overall performance of the network element from the set of data signals describing operation of components (176). Connection tracing through the plurality of node equipment and link equipment is also achieved.
摘要:
A network monitoring and diagnosis apparatus comprises a processor (500), data storage device (501, 504), graphical user interface (401), data mining means (505), data visualization means (506), data correlation means (507), and problem solving means. Performance data signals generated periodically by a communications network are collected by a network controller (400). The collected performance data is continuously mined, examining the data for performance parameters which are outside preset limits. Performance data outside preset limits is displayed on a graphical user interface, in a format determined by the visualization means. Performance parameters which are out of limits are correlated with other related parameters, information on which is available from the performance data signals, and patterns of parameter changes are identified by the correlation means. For performance parameters which are outside limits, a problem solving means (508) examines the out of limit performance data and generates suggested solutions to underlying problems resulting in out of limit performance parameters.

Each of a plurality of monitoring sessions runs contemporaneously, each monitoring a respective set of operational parameters. During each monitoring session, there are input a set of operational parameters (132) to be monitored. Data relating to the operational parameters is collected from one or more network elements, and a display of the data is produced (134).
