QUANTITATIVE MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENTS OF DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORKS WITH CONVERGED ARCHITECTURES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving performance information associated with performance of one or more network infrastructure elements and one or more application elements or service elements of a computer network;
comparing one or more performance indicators of a reference network architecture with at least a portion of the performance information;
determining a plurality of first scores for the performance information, wherein each score of the first scores is based, at least in part, on the comparing;
determining, based on the plurality of first scores, a single second score that indicates a converged state of the computer network with respect to the reference network architecture.

Abstract
Techniques for quantitative converged network assessment are described. Performance information, associated with network infrastructure elements and application or service elements of a computer network, is received. One or more key performance indicators of a reference network architecture are compared with at least a portion of the performance information. A plurality of first scores is determined based on the comparison of the one or more key performance indicators and at least a portion of the performance information. Based on the plurality of first scores, a single second score is determined that indicates a converged state of the computer network with respect to the reference network architecture.
