GENERATING A NETWORK MAP

摘要

Aspects of the present invention relate to a method, and various systems operable or arranged to implement that method, of generating a network map illustrating availability of network access technologies in various locations of the network. The method may comprise the following steps: (a) sending, by a first network unit, the location of which is identified by a first identifier, first data to a second network unit, the location of which is identified by a second identifier, whereby the first data is sent using at least two different network access technologies and is sent to at least two different possible locations for the second network unit; (b) receiving by the first network unit from the second network unit, first measurement data relating to the sent first data; and (c) generating the network map based on the measurement data, the first identifier and the second identifier.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving by a processing unit, a first measurement data transferred from a second network unit, the location of which is identified by a second identifier, wherein:
the first measurement data relates to first data received by the second network unit from a first network unit, the location of which is identified by a first identifier; andthe first network unit sends the first data to the second network unit, while the second network unit is located in at least two different locations; and generating by the processing unit a network map based on the first measurement data, the first identifier and the second identifier, wherein the network map illustrates availability of network access technologies in various locations of a network comprising the first network unit and the second network unit.
