Scenario, call, and protocol data unit hierarchical comparator

摘要

A system, method and computer program product monitors the operation of a telecommunications network and receives source metadata at a metadata comparator. The source metadata is associated with data captured from a source in a telecommunications network. Target metadata associated with target data is also received at the metadata comparator. The source and target metadata are compared to identify metadata parameters that match or do not match. Bias data is also received at the metadata comparator. The bias data comprises weighting parameters and/or tolerance parameters. The weighting and tolerance parameters correspond to selected metadata parameters.

1. A method, comprising:
performing, by a telecommunications network monitoring system,
receiving, at a metadata comparator, source metadata associated with source data captured from a source endpoint device in a telecommunications network, the source data including at least a portion of a first call record;receiving, at the metadata comparator, target metadata associated with target data, the target data including at least a portion of a second call record, wherein receiving the source metadata includes processing the portion of the first call record in a metadata synthesizer to create the source metadata, the source metadata including at least one of: a packet count per protocol, a number of calls per protocol, a call completion state count per call state, a call hold time per protocol, a packet length per protocol, a packet type count within protocol, a packet retransmission, or a packet transmission direction;comparing the source and target metadata; andin response to a parameter within the source metadata not matching a corresponding parameter within the target metadata as a result of the comparison, indicating the mismatch via a graphical user interface.
