<p>An application manager node in a communications network includes: a transceiver module configured to monitor data communications in the communication network; and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to receive, from at least one terminal node, application information related to at least one application data stream associated with at least one application operating in the terminal nodes; update, based on the application information, a relationship map which includes a relationship between each of the application data streams and an access node; determine an overall quality metric value associated with the access node based on at least parts on the application information received from one or more of the terminal nodes; and select, based on the overall quality metric value, at least one mitigation option for one or more of the application data streams.</p> |
