SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CAPACITY OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for determining an estimated capacity for providing data from a telecommunications network to a plurality of end users. In one implementation, the estimated capacity for delivering the data to the end users is per transmission path or per access network connected to the telecommunications network. This information may be aggregated into a traffic flow table that illustrates the traffic flow and available capacity to one or more end user networks. Through analysis of the traffic flow table, the system determines an estimated available capacity to provide the data to the end users. The traffic flow table thus provides a more accurate estimate of the capacity of the telecommunications network to provide the data to the end users over previous capacity estimates.

主权项

1. A method for providing data from a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
obtaining traffic flow information for the telecommunications network, the traffic flow information comprising an estimated bytes of data transmitted from the telecommunications network through a plurality of egress ports to a plurality of end user networks in communication with the telecommunications network, wherein each egress port of the plurality of egress ports is associated with at least one of the plurality of end user networks; receiving an indication of available capacity for each of the plurality of egress ports; storing the traffic flow information and indication of available capacity for each of the plurality of egress ports in a database; calculating an estimated capacity for each of a set of the plurality of egress ports; and adjusting a network configuration based at least on the calculated estimated capacity for each of a set of the plurality of egress ports to provide a requested network service to a plurality of end users of the telecommunications network.
