Abstract

See full text

The system and method of analyzing the performance of the network is described herein. The system operates by receiving a first problem alert signal (PAS) from a monitoring point associated with a network facility. The PAS indicates a potential problem with a network facility in a path entity. The system then determines whether the path entity includes distinct line entities. If the path entity includes distinct line entities, then the system determines whether a second problem alert signal has been reported by a monitoring point associated with a network facility in a line entity. The system then initiates a problem handling process for a line entity and suppresses the first PAS if a second PAS has been reported for the line entity. If no problem alert signals have been reported for the line entity, the system initiates a problem handling process for the path entity and reports the first PAS to a higher layer in the network management system.
