摘要 |
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to characterize customer-premises networks are disclosed. A disclosed example method comprises retrieving a first plurality of performance parameters for a first time interval for respective ones of a plurality of customer-premises devices, the first plurality of customer-premises devices forming a first customer-premises communication network and each communicatively coupled to a first residential gateway, retrieving a second plurality of performance parameters for a second time interval for the respective ones of the first plurality of devices, computing a first metric representative of a performance variability of the first customer-premises communication network from the first and second plurality of performance parameters, and comparing the first metric to a second metric representative of a second performance variability of a second customer-premises communication network communicatively coupled to a second residential gateway to determine whether the first customer-premises communication network is operating in accordance with a normal operating condition.
