Patent number: 10187250Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method and system for monitoring the bandwidth utilization on a high speed data network port over time. According to the method described herein, measurements of the bandwidth utilization on the port may be taken over a predetermined time interval and analyzed to determine whether the utilization measurement equals or exceeds a predetermined upper threshold. If the port exhibits high bandwidth utilization within the time interval, an alert may be set for further monitoring of the port or for port augmentation.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Nishant Agarwal, Tom Brown, John Paclik

Patent number: 9608895Abstract: A forecast model processes performance data from a site, e.g., a cable modem termination system (CMTS), to obtain a set of concurrency equations for existing speed tiers that is based on an observed subscriber bandwidth for the site. A new set of concurrency equations is obtained for new speed tiers so that a new subscriber bandwidth can be predicted for the new speed tiers. Based on the new subscriber bandwidth, expected subscriber growth, and changes in data consumption, the site is reconfigured with additional ports based on the forecast. This process can be repeated for the other sites. Sites may be grouped together based on the observed subscriber bandwidth. A new subscriber bandwidth may be predicted for the group with the new speed tiers so that additional ports can be configured for each of the sites in the group.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: John Paclik, Amit Garg, Saifur Rahman
