System and method for monitoring and optimizing network performance to a wireless device
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring and optimizing network performance to a wireless device comprising:
- a first wireless router in direct communication with said wireless device for transmitting and receiving RF signals between said first wireless router and said wireless device, said wireless router configured to;
determine network performance information associated with data packets communicated over said wireless router;
concatenate said network performance information into a performance information packet;
a second wireless router in direct communication range with said wireless device;
a packet network switch in network communication with said first wireless router for communicating said data packets between said first wireless router and said packet network switch, said packet network switch also in network communication with said second wireless router;
a network management device in communication with said packet network switch for instructing said packet network switch to route said performance information packet to said network management device, said network management device utilizing said network performance information from said performance information packet to identify network performance problems associated with the first wireless router;
transmit instructional data packets to the first wireless router that include instructions for optimizing network performance to said wireless device in response to identify, a network performance problem associated with the first wireless router;
wherein said wireless router includes at least one module configured to;
count the total of said data packets being communicated via said wireless router during a time period;
count said data packets including real-time content being communicated via said wireless router during said time period;
determine bandwidth of said data packets being communicated via said wireless router; and
determine bandwidth of said data packets including real-time content being communicated via said wireless router.
