Abstract: Some tests can be implemented as services. A network provider can deploy (“push”) a test to a container resident on one or more devices of the network, either at installation, periodically, or when a problem is reported. When a customer reports an issue, services running on one or more devices of the customer's installation can cause the containerized tests to be run. For example, the central office of the network provider can initiate a request to run the test through the internet (or other connection) by the container. In some implementations, there is an overlap of the service based test set with traditional technician initiated test sets forming a hybrid testing architecture.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer hardware storage media are provided for variably reducing, but not eliminating, the ambient volume that reaches the eardrum in a particular setting. One or more noise signatures of sound from an ambient environment are received at a mobile device. A profile associated with a suppression or amplification control of the one or more noise signatures of sound from the ambient environment are created and stored at the mobile device. The suppression or amplification control is communicated from the mobile device to a set of variable audio ear plugs. The suppression control causes the variable audio ear plugs to variably reduce, but not eliminate, the sound from the ambient environment and the amplification control does not amplify sound from any source other than the ambient environment.
