Publication number: 20080186854Abstract: A telecommunications network comprises a plurality of network terminations interconnected through the network, each network termination being connectable to network termination equipment configurable for the input or output of data communicated between the terminations over the network. The data collection and generation equipment is controlled by a central server to generate data required for the monitoring of this performance, such as latency in a connection between two of the terminations. This server has configuration means for controlling a data retrieval means and data processing means to generate the outputs required of it, and is associated with a data storage means comprising means to store data relating to the arrangement of the network and the network terminations. The configuration means identifies, from the network data store, the network terminations required to perform the data collection required and transmits instructions to them to generate this data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2007Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS public limited companyInventors: Peter G. Farrimond, Dan Hubscher, Adinarayana Kadiyam, Ian Newman, David McCallum, Alistair Munro
