    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing trouble isolation for a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) on packet networks are disclosed. For example, the method receives an alert or a ticket for a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) down or a PVC degraded and starts a correlation window for said PVC and port alert or ticket. The method then gathers a plurality of port and PVC alerts for a duration of said correlation window and determines whether or not a port down or a port degraded alert is received along with a PVC down or a PVC degraded alert in said correlation window for one or more ports associated with said PVC.

    摘要: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a set-top box (STB) having a controller to generate a trouble report indicating a malfunction with one or more services, and submitting the trouble report to a mitigation system. The mitigation system can be adapted to detect one or more operational faults in at least one of a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), a residential gateway (RG), and the STB, cycle operations of at least one of the DSLAM, the RG, and the STB responsive to detecting an undesirable state of operation of at least one of the DSLAM, the RG, and the STB, and generate a trouble ticket directed to a service agent responsive to detecting that at least one of the DSLAM, the RG and the STB continues to exhibit at least one operational fault. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a monitoring center of a media distribution network, from a set top box device associated with a customer account, first error data indicating occurrence of a first error at the set top box device at a first time. The set top box device is at least partially functional after occurrence of the first error. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, at the monitoring center, second error data indicating occurrence of a second error at the set top box device at a second time. The set top box device is at least partially functional after occurrence of the second error. The computer-implemented method includes determining an elapsed time between the first time and the second time. The computer-implemented method includes automatically generating a trouble ticket indicating failure of the set top box device when the elapsed time satisfies a first threshold.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to detect and restore flapping circuits in IP aggregation network environments are disclosed herein. An example method for use in maintaining a communication network includes retrieving information related to an operating state of a device associated with a network disturbance; determining whether the information related to the operating state of the device is indicative of a flapping condition; when the operating state information indicates that the flapping condition is present in the network, determining a cause of the flapping condition; when the cause of the flapping condition is a physical cause, selecting a first recovery procedure; and when the cause of the flapping condition is a logical cause, selecting a second recovery procedure different from the first recovery procedure.
