1. A management system for a telecommunication network, the management system comprising:
- a plurality of taps for monitoring in real time activity at network interfaces to provide network transaction data, a filter for filtering the transaction data on a subscriber identifier basis to provide per-user quality-of-service metrics in real time, and a server for aggregating the metrics and for storing at least some of the metrics and transaction data.

Abstract
In a mobile network a packet interface (103) is monitored by a tap (160-163) in a non-intrusive manner. Captured transaction data is uploaded to a probe (155-158) linked to one or more taps. The probe acts as a slave to a server (159), activating and terminating data capture. A coordinator (601) of the probe (155) manages data capture and buffering according to the server. The server (150) filters the data according to a subscriber registry (203) and loads data until there are complete protocol descriptions. These provide real time subscriber-centered QoS metrics.
