SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTRICTING ACCESS TO NETWORK PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for restricting access to network performance information associated with communications over a packet network, said method comprising:
- receiving a request from a user to access network performance information associated with communications of data packets over a packet network;
determining whether the user has permission to access the network performance information, including retrieving a network performance information identifier for determining categories of the network performance information accessible to the user;
in response to determining that the user has permission to access the network performance information, enabling the user to access only the determined categories of the network performance information of the packet network; and
restricting the user from accessing the network performance information outside of the determined categories of the network performance information accessible to the user.

Abstract
A system and method for restricting access to network performance information associated with communications over a packet network. A request may be received from a user to access network performance information associated with communications of data packets over a packet network. A determination as to whether the user has permission to access the network performance information may be made. In response to determining that the user has permission to access the network performance information, the user may be enabled to access the network performance information; otherwise, the user may be prevented from accessing the network performance information. The network performance information may include information associated with communications of data packets including real-time content and non-real-time content.

9. A system for restricting access to network performance information associated with communications over a packet network, said system comprising:
-
a storage unit configured to store network performance information associated with communications of data packets over a packet network; an input/output (I/O) unit configured to communicate with the packet network; a processing unit in communication with said storage unit and said I/O unit, said processing unit configured to execute instructions to; receive a request from a user to access network performance information associated with communications of data packets over a packet network; determine whether the user has permission to access the network performance information, including retrieving a network performance information identifier for determining categories of the network performance information accessible to the user; and enable the user to access only the determined categories of the network performance information in response to determining that the user has permission to access the network performance information, prevent the user from accessing the network performance information outside of the determined categories of the network performance information accessible to the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
