Systems and Methods of Node Splitting

摘要

Example embodiments of the systems and methods of node splitting disclosed herein aid designers and engineers in correctly selecting network nodes (such as hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) nodes) for splitting as well as the ability to split those nodes in the field for maximum efficiency. The systems and methods disclosed herein collect data from a variety of sources that are used as part of a criteria-based formula for determining which nodes have reached a maximum level of proper bandwidth usage and which are experiencing network stress, which could degrade the customer experience. Once these nodes are identified to be split, the nodes to be split may be re-designed to maximize network facilities, improve reliability, and reduce future split costs.

1. A system comprising:
one or more servers comprising at least one of:
a physical network facility database;a customer address database; anda customer bandwidth usage database; a mapping application configured to apply data from the physical network facility database, the customer address database, and the customer bandwidth usage database; and a network node distribution module configured to determine network node distribution based on the data applied to the map.
