Method and server for determining home network quality
First Claim
1. Method for determining from a remote server a user quality of service (QoS) class of a home network, performed at the remote server which is connected through the internet with the home network comprising:
- obtaining home network measurement data of at least one home network parameter associated with a capacity of the home network, using an application layer protocol for remote management, said capacity being a measure for an amount of traffic that the home network can handle at one time;
processing said home network measurement data to estimate the capacity of the home network or a parameter related thereto;
based on the estimated capacity or parameter related thereto classifying said home network in a user QoS class,wherein said obtaining home network measurement data comprises obtaining at least a first and second CFR vector measured for the home network;
said processing said home network measurement data comprises calculating at least one capacity vector as a function of at least said first and second CFR vector, and calculating an average capacity value based on said at least one capacity vector; and
said classifying comprises classifying said home network in a user QoS class based on at least said average capacity value.

Abstract
Method for determining from a remote server a user quality of service (QoS) class of a home network, comprising the following steps performed at the remote server which is connected through the internet with the home network: obtaining home network measurement data of at least one home network parameter associated with a capacity of the home network, using an application layer protocol for remote management, said capacity being a measure for an amount of traffic that the home network can handle at one time; processing said home network measurement data to estimate the capacity of the home network or a parameter related thereto; based on the estimated capacity or parameter related thereto classifying said home network in a user QoS class.

8. Server adapted for determining a user quality of service (QoS) class of a home network, comprising:
-
a data collector adapted for obtaining, through the internet, home network measurement data of at least one home network parameter associated with a capacity of the home network, using an application layer protocol for remote management, said capacity being a measure for an amount of traffic that the home network can handle at one time; a processor adapted to process said home network measurement data to estimate the capacity of the home network or a parameter related thereto; a classifier adapted to classify said home network in a user QoS class, based on the estimated capacity or parameter related thereto wherein said data collector is adapted to obtain at least a first and second CFR vector measured for the home network;
said processor is adapted to calculate at least one capacity vector as a function of at least said first and second CFR vector, and to calculate an average capacity value based on said at least one capacity vector; and
said classifier is adapted to classify said home network in a user QoS class based on at least said average capacity value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
