System and method for provisioning resources of a packet network based on collected network performance information
First Claim
1. A method for provisioning resources of a packet network, said method comprising:
- monitoring at least one network performance information parameter associated with communications of data packets;
comparing the at least one network performance information parameter with at least one first respective threshold value indicative of degradation of communications of the data packets;
determining that the at least one network performance information parameter crosses the at least one first respective threshold value; and
in response to the at least one network performance information parameter crossing the at least one respective threshold value, provisioning a network resource to compensate for the degradation of communications of the data packets.

Abstract
A system and method for provisioning resources of a packet network, including monitoring at least one network performance information parameter associated with communications of data packets. The at least one network performance information parameter(s) may be compared with at least one respective threshold value indicative of degradation of communications of the data packets. A determination may be made that the network performance information parameter(s) crosses the respective threshold value(s). In response to determining that the network performance information parameter(s) crosses the respective threshold value(s), a network resource may be provisioned to compensate for the degradation of communications of the data packets.

15. A system for provisioning resources of a packet network, said system comprising:
-
a database configured to store network performance information of a packet network; an input/output (I/O) unit in communication with said packet network and configured to communicate commands to network resources operating on the packet network; and a processing unit in communication with said database and I/O unit, said processing unit configured to; monitor at least one network performance information parameter associated with communications of data packets; compare the at least one network performance information parameter with at least one first respective threshold value indicative of degradation of communications of the data packets; determine that the at least one network performance information parameter crosses the at least one first respective threshold value; and provision a network resource to compensate for the degradation of communications of the data packets in response to the at least one network performance information parameter crossing the at least one respective threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
