Abstract: A method for automatically validating measurements of a field survey including providing, on a field computing device, a two-dimensional image of a field to be surveyed, providing actual coordinates of at least two field reference points, each corresponding to an image reference point on the two-dimensional image, employing the field computing device to outline, on the two-dimensional image, features of interest of the field, employing the field computing device to manually select, on the outline, a plurality of image measuring points, for each image measuring point, identifying a corresponding field measuring point, measuring the actual coordinates of each field measuring point, thereby obtaining actual coordinates thereof, and responsive to the obtaining, automatically ascertaining for each image measuring point and corresponding field measuring point, whether there is a discrepancy between the location of the image measuring point on the two-dimensional image and the actual coordinates of the corresponding

Abstract: There are disclosed methods (processes) and systems, for: 1. establishing and defining service classes and service plans; 2. monitoring and controlling parameters related to level of service for each service class; and 3. estimating the additional resources necessary to support excessive traffic demand. These methods and systems provide visibility into the network, enabling management of the network.
