Abstract

A system, method, and computer readable medium for integrated IP DSLAM test monitor that comprises monitoring at least one data stream, collecting measurements of the at least one data stream, broadcasting the collected measurements to a remote monitoring station, analyzing the monitored at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station, identifying a fault signature from the analyzed at least one data stream, and sending an alert of the identified fault signature so that actions may be take to isolate and repair the fault.

Claims (46)

1. A method of internet protocol digital subscriber line asynchronous multiplexer test monitoring by at least one client, comprising:

monitoring at least one data stream at one or more interfaces in internet protocol digital subscriber line asynchronous multiplexer, wherein each of the at least one data stream comprises a plurality of data packets;

collecting measurements of the at least one data stream;

broadcasting the collected measurements to a remote monitoring station;

analyzing the monitored at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station, wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the collected measurements from the one or more interfaces;

identifying a fault signature from the analyzed at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station; and

sending an alert of the identified fault signature by the remote monitoring station.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one data stream is monitored by the at least one client proximate at least one physical port.

3. The method of claim 1 comprising:

calculating statistics from the at least one data stream by the at least one client.

4. The method of claim 3 comprising:

organizing the calculated statistics by the at least one client.

5. The method of claim 3 comprising:

summarizing the calculated statistics by the at least one client.

6. The method of claim 3 comprising:

compacting the calculated statistics by the at least one client.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising:

evaluating the at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station.

8. The method of claim 1 comprising:

recognizing fault signatures in the at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored on and executable on a computer comprising:

monitoring at least one data stream by at least one client at one or more interfaces in internet protocol digital subscriber line asynchronous multiplexer, wherein each of the at least one data stream comprises a plurality of data packets;

communicating between the at least one client and a remote monitoring station;

analyzing the monitored at least one data stream by the remote monitoring station, wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the collected measurements from the one or more interfaces;

identifying a fault signature from the analyzed at least one data stream; and

sending an alert of the identified fault signature by the remote monitoring station.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

ascertaining a fault location from the analyzed at least one data stream.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

controlling the at least one client.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

coordinating the at least one client.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

comparing the monitored at least one data stream.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

correlating the monitored at least one data stream.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

configuring the at least one client.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 comprising instructions for:

dispersing the at least one client.

17. A system for internet protocol digital subscriber line asynchronous multiplexer test monitoring comprising:

a processor in communication with at least one client which is monitoring at least one data stream comprising a plurality of data packets at one or more interfaces in internet protocol digital subscriber line asynchronous multiplexer, wherein the processor analyzes the communications from the at least one client by comparing the communications between the one or more interfaces, identifies fault signatures from the analyzed communications and ascertains fault locations from the analyzed communications; and

a memory communicably coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores the monitoring from the at least one data stream.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the processor controls the at least one client.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein the processor configures the at least one client.

20. The system of claim 17 wherein the processor disperses the at least one client.
