Abstract:
1. A system to optimize resource planning for asynchronous digital subscriber line (ADSL) services comprising: a network management system (NMS) in communication with an ADSL network, wherein said NMS cooperates with said ADSL network using an element management system (EMS), said EMS capable of communicating with ADSL network components using ADSL network component communication protocols and standards; and a computing application, said computing application operating on said NMS capable of allocating, tracking, and managing deterministic resource configuration variables that are used to create permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) on said ADSL network; wherein said NMS uses said deterministic configuration variables to reanimate hung PVCs; and wherein said NMS cooperates with said EMS to communicate information indicative of said hung PVCs to said ADSL network components such that said ADSL network components can reanimate said hung PVCs, said NMS calculating said deterministic variables using said computing application to ascertain the connection positions of the PVC on said ADSL network components.
