A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION, CONGESTION DETECTION, ANALYSIS, AND MANAGEMENT

摘要

A system and method for automatic detection of a network incident from real-time network data is disclosed. The method includes: collecting real-time network data; executing performance calculations on the real-time network data to compute performance metrics; and detecting a pattern over a time window, wherein detecting a pattern includes detecting a proportion of metric values crossing a threshold exceeding a defined percentage amount, detecting a presence of a sequence of metric values, detecting a time-ordered stretch of metric values with a length of the time-ordered stretch exceeding a defined threshold, detecting a cyclical presence of a sequence of metric values, or combinations thereof.
