Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying a plurality of network components in a network topology of a data transmission network; identifying at least one data transmission performance pattern based on at least one key performance indicator (KPI) for each of the plurality of network components; identifying at least one data transmission issue in the network; identifying a model degraded performance pattern associated with the at least one data transmission issue; matching the model degraded performance pattern to the at least one data transmission performance pattern to form at least one matched performance pattern; and identifying a root-cause component for the at least one data transmission issue from the plurality of network components based on the at least one matched performance pattern, wherein identifying the root-cause component comprises identifying a sequence of network components that transmit a test data flow and identifying a highest network component in the network topology at which the at least one matched performance pattern occurs as the root-cause component.
