In a network for digital data packet transmission, reception quality of received data packets is sensed ( 111 ) by a remote terminal ( 101 ). Thereupon, a bit string indicative for the sensed reception quality is generated ( 112 ). This bit string or a compressed version of this bit string is transferred ( 114 ) in real-time over a management channel to a first central processing unit ( 121 ) in a network node ( 102 ) where the bit string is compacted or processed. By processing the bit string, the first central processing unit ( 121 ) may determine impulse noise characteristics. Alternatively, the bit string or a compressed or compacted version thereof may be forwarded to a second central processing unit ( 131 ) in a network manager ( 103 ) that processes the bit string and determines impulse noise characteristics.
