Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring performance of a packet network, said system comprising: a database configured to store network performance information collected from a plurality of network nodes of a packet network, the network performance information being indicative of or otherwise suitable for use in determining a health of a plurality of network segments of the network packet network; and a processing unit in communication with said database and configured to access the stored network performance information, said processing unit further configured to generate a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of the network performance information of the plurality of network segments of the network packet network, wherein the graphical representation of a network segment is indicated as a line, wherein a width of the line widens and narrows in accordance with an amount of traffic flow over the network segment, wherein the graphical representation of the network segment includes a second line indicating a second amount of traffic flow over the network segment in an opposite direction of the traffic flow of the line, wherein the line includes indicia to characterize the traffic flow as real-time or non-real-time data, wherein the processing unit is further configured to notify a call control manager module to change a network component in response to a determination that data included in the network performance information associated with a node segment crosses above a threshold value.
