Problems solved by technology

Often times, however, when users experience poor performance, assume the problem is with the DSL link and complain to the ISP or access provider
[0018] While DSL links are also susceptible to performance issues and interference, those are beyond the scope of this invention

Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 The main components of the network 1 according to the first embodiment are shown. In this system, multiple hubs 3 located at multiple customer premises are shown. Each hub 3 contains modem, routing and wireless access point functions. The modem component converts the DSL signaling to Ethernet, the router directs the flow of Ethernet packets to different network interfaces, and the wireless access point component converts the Ethernet data into a format suitable for transmission over the air interface. An example of a hub device 3 is a BT Home Hub 5 with a VDSL modem and 802.11ac wireless interface.

[0033] Each hub 3 is connected to an application server 5 and a web server 7 located at a wide area network such as the Internet 9 via a network core 11 of the ISP. For access to the network core 11 , edge routers 13 such as DSLAMs and micro-DSLAMs are connected to hubs via DSL copper or fiber optic lines 15 . The subscriber profile server 17 stores information...

Abstract

In a system formed of user devices, a home access point routing device connected to an Internet Service Provider, performance issues such as contention and interference on the home network can be determined. The home access point is arranged to monitor IP Flow information for data sessions between user devices and remote servers over a wireless or powerline Ethernet home network and performance issues are determined by the home access point or by a management server.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to data communications, and in particular to methods and systems for detecting home network problems. Background technique [0002] To access wide area networks such as the Internet, customers at home and business premises use a broadband network between the customer premises and an Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as the BT Total Broadband service provided by British Telecom. [0003] Typically, customer premises are connected to the ISP equipment via copper wire, a combination of copper and fiber optic lines, or fiber optic lines. Examples of such arrangements include Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), Very High Speed ​​Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) (collectively referred to as xDSL), Fiber to the Cabinet (FTTC), Fiber to the Premises (FTTP), and Cable Data Service Interface Specification ( DOCSIS). [0004] Broadband connections connect customers to services available over a wide area network, such as the Internet, which t...
