A system and process are disclosed for configuring an Event Driven Interface and analyzing its output for monitoring and controlling a data communications network. The invention is a combination of a source of control vectors, which sends control vectors to a Programmable Performance Vector Generator which is coupled to a data communications network to be monitored and controlled. The control vectors configure an Event Driven Interface contained in the Programmable Performance Vector Generator, based upon the protocol of the network, performance information required, and the type of analysis and network characteristics required from the system. Event vectors are then output to an expert system which analyzes them and provides monitoring information and control signals to the network. The invention enables real-time load distribution, load balancing, problem determination, routing and customer services. |
