First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to measure one or more probe values that relate to a keep-alive timer value associated with a network; and
determining to measure whether the one or more probe values comprise one or more successful probe values, one or more unsuccessful probe values, or a combination thereof,wherein the keep-alive timer is determined based, at least in part, on a statistical analysis of the one or more probe values.

Abstract
An approach is provided for determining an optimal keep-alive time period. A request is received from a probe platform for measuring one or more probe values that relate to a keep-alive timer value associated with a network. The device receiving the request then determines to measure whether the one or more probe values comprise one or more successful probe values, one or more unsuccessful probe values, or a combination thereof. The keep-alive timer is then determined based, at least in part, on a statistical analysis of the one or more probe values.
