20100268524 | Method For Modeling User Behavior In IP Networks - A method of modeling user behavior in an IP network, comprising the steps of allowing a testing user to create a behavior profile specifying one or more user activities from a plurality of user activities performed by a user over the IP network, one or more bandwidth usage levels corresponding to the one or more user activities, and an importance level associated with each user activity; associating one or more applications from a plurality of applications with the one or more user activities; emulating the behavior profile over the IP network by performing the one or more user activities using the one or more applications; and measuring a quality of experience (QoE) score for each user activity from the one or more user activities. | 10-21-2010 |
20100268834 | Method For Embedding Meta-Commands in Normal Network Packets - A method for synchronizing different components of a computer network system using meta-commands embedded in normal network packets. The data communication channel between different components of a computer network system can be used to transport meta-commands piggybacked in normal network packets, without modifying or compromising the validity of the protocol message. Embodiments of the method can be used for embedding test synchronization and control commands into the network packets sent through a device or system under test. The device or system under test can be an edge device, with the data communication channel carrying normal packets containing meta-commands embedded in the packets to synchronize the test control of the test clients and the test servers connected to the edge device. | 10-21-2010 |
20100269044 | Method For Determining A Quality Of User Experience While Performing Activities in IP Networks - An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for establishing Quality of Experience (QoE) measurements and metrics for different types of actual user activities over IP networks. These activities include, but are not limited to web browsing, sending and receiving email, file downloading and uploading, peer to peer (P2P) networking, VoIP, online gaming, and media streaming. The measurement of the QoE metrics is based on both objective and subjective metrics, including network characteristics, such as packet loss and latency, along with empirical observations of the user activities. | 10-21-2010 |

20130182577 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK MONITORING AND TESTING USING DIMENSION VALUE BASED KPIS - Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for network monitoring and testing using dimension-value based KPIs that are configured and calculated from a stream of homogenous or heterogeneous data events. The embodiments describe flexible and abstract ways of specifying configurations for the calculation of the KPIs from the stream of network events. Embodiments are described in the context of calculating KPIs for call detail records (CDRs) for computer telephony events. | 07-18-2013 |
20130182578 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK MONITORING AND TESTING USING SELF-ADAPTIVE TRIGGERS BASED ON KPI VALUES - Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for network monitoring and testing using self-adaptive Key Performance Indicator to establish thresholds to trigger alarms in network monitoring. The present embodiments will be described in the context of calculating KPIs for call detail records (CDRs) and using the KPIs for network monitoring. | 07-18-2013 |
20130182579 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK MONITORING AND TESTING USING INTELLIGENT SEQUENCING - Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for network monitoring and testing using intelligent sequencing of data events so as to generalize the sequencing of events from multiple disparate sources of network events with multiple disparate types of events. | 07-18-2013 |
20130182700 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK MONITORING AND TESTING USING A GENERIC DATA MEDIATION PLATFORM - Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for network monitoring and testing using a generic data mediation platform between one or more probes and one or more dashboards. The generic data mediation platform performs data correlation, filtering enrichment and aggregation of events obtained from monitored networks. | 07-18-2013 |
20130198569 | METHOD OF EMBEDDING CONFIGURATION DATA IN A NON-CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT - Embodiments are directed to a method of embedding configuration files in a document generated by a system, with the configuration file including settings associated with the generation of the document. A particular embodiment is directed to the embedding of configuration files of a testing system in a report document generated by the testing system. The configuration file includes system settings and external settings in association with the test results documented in the report document. For example, a testing system can generate a PDF report document associated with a test performed, and embed configuration files into the PDF report document. The embedding of configurations files in the PDF document can be done by using standard embedding mechanisms already available in the PDF file format and supported by most PDF viewing tools. The embedding of the configuration file can be performed automatically when the report document is generated. | 08-01-2013 |
