Methods and Apparatus to Characterize and Predict Network Health Status
First Claim
1. A method of characterizing and predicting a health status of a network node, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of report values associated with the network node, wherein each report value is one of alert and normal, and wherein each report value is received at a corresponding time;
calculating a current report weight associated with a current report value received at a current time, wherein, when a first previous report value was received at a first previous time before the current time, the current report weight is calculated based at least partially on the current report value and at least partially on a first previous report weight associated with the first previous value; and
storing the current report weight at a memory device.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to characterize and predict network health status are presented. A particular method of characterizing and predicting a health status of a network node includes receiving a plurality of report values associated with the network node, where each report value is one of alert and normal, and where each report value is received at a corresponding time. The method includes calculating a current report weight associated with a current report value received at a current time. When a first previous report value was received at a first previous time before the current time, the current report weight is calculated based at least partially on the current report value and at least partially on a first previous report weight associated with the first previous value. The method includes storing the current report weight at a memory device.

13. A computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed, cause a processor to:
-
calculate a report weight associated with a network node, wherein the report weight is based at least partially on a report value associated with the network node at a first time and at least partially on a first previous report value associated with the network node at a previous time; and store the current report weight in a memory. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
a processor to receive a plurality of report values associated with a network node, each report value to be received at a corresponding time within a predetermined time period, the report values including a previous report value received at a previous time and a current report value received at a current time, wherein each report value comprises one of alert and normal; and a memory device accessible to the processor, the memory device including; a calculation module executable by the processor to calculate a current report weight associated with the current report value, the current report weight based at least partially on the previous report value and based at least partially on the current report value; and an output module executable by the processor to store the current report weight. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
