  • Patent number: 9912541
    Abstract: A network management apparatus 20 includes a line condition determination unit (203) and an improvement information generation unit (204). The line condition determination unit (203) receives a line communication condition of network equipment (31) and determines as to whether or not the line communication condition satisfies a predetermined condition. The line condition determination unit (203) notifies the improvement information generation unit (204) when the predetermined condition is satisfied. The improvement information generation unit (204) obtains operation information relating to the network equipment (31). After the improvement information generation unit (204) has received the notification from the line condition determination unit (203), the improvement information generation unit (204) generates and outputs improvement information that describes means for improving the line condition of the network equipment (31) based on the operation information.
