Abstract: A method of determining a problem with data packet transmission speed over a first communication medium coupled between a plurality of content servers and an ISP communication device. The method comprises repeatedly measuring the data packet transmission speed over the first communication medium coupled between each of the plurality of content servers and the ISP communication device, and determining there is a problem with the data packet transmission speed over the first communication medium coupled between one of the plurality of content servers and the ISP communication device when the repeatedly measured data packet transmission speeds over the first communication medium coupled between the one of the plurality of content servers and the ISP communication device is substantially different from the repeatedly measured data packet transmission speeds over the first communication medium coupled between other of the plurality of content servers and the ISP communication device.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for a server coupled to a wireless local area network (WLAN) or an agent to receive an input from a device. The input causes the server or the agent to select either the WLAN or devices coupled to the WLAN for which to report current performance and usage information and historical performance and usage information. Based on the selection, the information is retrieved at the server or the agent and transmitted to the device.

Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for monitoring communication link performance between a communication device located behind a NAT, which is coupled to a communication device via a communication link, while enabling NAT traversal. Various embodiments utilize periodic transmissions of a short burst of communication packets between communication devices to monitor communication link performance. To monitor whether a link can support a particular service, a minimum required data rate of the service may be compared to a lower bound of the throughput measured by the dispersion of packets and by detecting excessive queueing delay. Once a problem is detected, a more accurate performance measurement may be triggered. Periodic communication enables NAT traversal via NAT hole puncturing. Overall, communication devices may maintain connection across a NAT, while monitoring communication link performance.

Abstract: A server coupled in communication with the WLAN, or an agent executing on at least one of the plurality of devices, receives input from the device to select one or more of the WLAN and the plurality of devices for which to report the current, and historical, performance and usage information to the device. A server or the agent retrieves the historical performance and usage information for the selected one or more of the WLAN and the plurality of devices. The server or the agent further retrieves the current performance and usage information from the selected one or more of the WLAN and the plurality of devices. The server, or the agent, transmits for presentation in a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display screen of the device, the current, and historical, performance and usage information for the selected one or more of the WLAN and the plurality of devices.
