1. A method comprising:

  • receiving first data from an internet protocol television system at a performance server, wherein the first data is associated with requests received by a video server for retransmission of particular multicast video data packets, wherein the first data denotes a trend based on performance data associated with the particular multicast video data packets, and wherein the first data indicates a potential network failure;

    in response to the first data, querying, with a processor of the performance server, a plurality of network devices to receive performance metrics corresponding to multicast video data packets, wherein the network devices are multicast branching points between the video server and a multicast destination;

    comparing, with the processor, the performance metrics to a performance metric signature to identify an action to inhibit the potential network failure; and

    initiating the action from the performance server.
