1. A method for tracking conformance of user traffic with a bandwidth profile, the method comprising:
- observing throughput during an observance window;
determining an average for offered throughput utilizing the observed throughput;
determining whether the average exceeds a bandwidth profile in response to a determination that packets are discarded; and
sending an alarm in response to determining the average exceeds the bandwidth profile.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for tracking conformance of user traffic with a bandwidth profile. For example, in one embodiment, throughput is measured during an observance window and an average for offered throughput is determined based on the measured throughput. A determination is made as to whether the average exceeds a bandwidth profile in response to a determination that packets are being discarded. An alarm is sent in response to a determination that the average exceeds the bandwidth profile.
