Proactive repair process in the xDSL network (with a VDSL focus)
First Claim
1. A method for proactively managing a fault in a video and data network comprising:
- collecting network correlation data for the fault to identify physical network transport information affected by the fault;
automatically performing a physical connectivity test of the video and data network;
collecting physical connectivity data from the physical connectivity test;
automatically correlating the network correlation data of the identified physical network transport information and physical connectivity data of the video and data network based on the fault; and
automatically providing a defined resolution procedure for resolving the fault using the correlated network correlation data and physical connectivity data.

Abstract
A method for proactively managing a fault in a video and data network is provided. The method includes collecting network correlation data for the fault. Additionally, a physical connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed. Physical connectivity data from the physical connectivity test is collected. Also, a virtual connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed. Virtual connectivity data from the virtual connectivity test is collected. The network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is then correlated based on the fault. Once the correlation is performed, a defined resolution procedure for resolving the fault using the correlated network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is provided.
