1. A method for transmitting data corresponding to an endpoint device problem to a packet network, comprising:
- generating the data corresponding to the endpoint device problem at an endpoint device, wherein the data comprises a statistic related to the endpoint device problem, wherein the endpoint device problem comprises a problem within the endpoint device that causes the endpoint device to have difficulty communicating with the packet network;
transmitting the data from the endpoint device to the packet network, wherein the data is for diagnosing the endpoint device problem; and
receiving an alarm, generated by a server in the packet network, at the endpoint device associated with a customer when a solution that resolves the endpoint device problem is not found within a predefined period of time.

Abstract
A method and system for transmitting data corresponding to at least one endpoint device problem in a packet communications network is described. Specifically, an endpoint device detects at least one problem that pertains to the endpoint device. The endpoint device then generates data pertaining to the endpoint device problem. Lastly, the endpoint device then transmits the data detailing that endpoint device problem to the packet communications network.
