1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request for a network connection;
determining if the requested network connection is available;
based on the network connection not being available, incrementing a counter;
based on said counter exceeding a threshold value within a predetermined time period, setting a status indicating a network bottleneck condition; and
responding to said status indicative of the network bottleneck condition.

Abstract
A method comprises receiving a request for a network connection and determining if the requested network connection is available. Based on the network connection not being available, the method comprises incrementing a counter. Based on the counter exceeding a threshold value, the method comprises setting a status indicating a bottleneck condition and further responding to the status indicative of the bottleneck condition.

8. A method, comprising:
-
reading status of a first device; determining whether status of the first device is indicative of a bottleneck; based on determining that the status of the first device is indicative of a bottleneck, reading status of a second device that is downstream from the first device; and based on determining that the status of the second device is not indicative of a bottleneck, determining that a congestion point occurred with respect to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
a computer-readable storage medium containing software; and a processor coupled to the computer-readable storage medium and that executes the software; wherein the software causes the processor to; read a status of a first device; determine whether the status of the first device is indicative of a network bottleneck; based on a determination that the status of the first device is indicative of a network bottleneck, read a status of a second device that is downstream from the first device; and based on a determination that the status of the second device is not indicative of a bottleneck, determine that a congestion point occurred with respect to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
