Network realtime monitoring and control system
First Claim
1. A network real-time monitoring and control system comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instruction sets that define;
an event manager operative to;
receive a monitored network traffic indicator measurement associated with a network node from a-monitored traffic indicator measurement database;
receive a monitored network traffic indicator threshold associated with the monitored network traffic indicator from a monitored network traffic indicator threshold database;
generate a network performance measurement based on the monitored network traffic indicator measurement and a network performance equation;
request a network performance threshold from a network performance threshold profile;
compare the generated network performance measurement with the network performance threshold;
compare the monitored network traffic indicator measurement with the received monitored network traffic indicator threshold; and
generate a network event identifier based on the comparison of the monitored network traffic indicator measurement with the received monitored network traffic indicator threshold, and the comparison of the generated network performance measurement with the network performance threshold; and
a processor that executes the executable instruction sets.

Abstract
A network real-time monitoring and control system includes several layers of components for generating a network traffic shaping control that is used to shaping network traffic flows for one or more network nodes. The layers of the network real-time monitoring and control system include a monitoring layer, an event control layer, a traffic shaping control layer, a reporting layer, and an administrative layer. The monitoring obtains network traffic indicator measurements and network node operational indicator measurements. The event control layer uses the indicator measurements to generate a network event identifier, and generates a request for a network traffic shaping control based on a correlation of the network event identifier with a network node status identifier. The request for the network traffic shaping control is communicated to the traffic shaping control layer to generate a network traffic shaping control.
