System and method for mapping network congestion in real-time

摘要

An IP endpoint comprising a processor; a memory; and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor receives from a mobile communications device a mobile device report indicating congestion experienced by data transmitted by the mobile communications device during an interval, receives from a network element an element report indicating congestion experienced by data transmitted by the network element during another interval, and generates a congestion model based on the mobile device report and the element report.

1. An IP endpoint comprising:
a processor; a memory; and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor: receives from a mobile communications device a mobile device report indicating congestion experienced by data transmitted by the mobile communications device during an interval, the mobile device report being based on a Congested Byte Count Ratio for the mobile communication device CBCRmobile-device), wherein the CBCRmobile-device is represented by Equation 1:CBCRmobile-device=Byte⁢⁢CountCE-marked-traffic-for-mobile-deviceByteCountAll-IP-Traffic-for-mobile-devive,(Equation⁢⁢1)and wherein ByteCountCE-marked-traffic-for-mobile-device is the number of bytes transmitted by the mobile communications device that experience congestion during the interval and ByteCountAll-IP-traffic-for-mobile-device is the total number of bytes transmitted by the mobile communications device during the interval,
receives from a network element an element report indicating congestion experienced by data transmitted by the network element during another interval, the element report being based on a Congested Byte Count Ratio for the network element (CBCRelement), wherein the CBCRelement is represented by Equation 2:CBCRelement=Byte⁢⁢CountCE-marked-traffic-for-elementByteCountAll-IP-Traffic-for-element,(Equation⁢⁢2)and wherein ByteCountCE-marked-traffic-for-element is the number of bytes transmitted by the network element that experience congestion during the other interval and ByteCountAll-IP-traffic-for-element is the total number of bytes transmitted by the network element during the other interval, and
generates a congestion model based on the mobile device report and the element report.
