Methods and systems for distributed testing of network configurations for zero-rating

Abstract

A server causes a user device configured as a test agent to implement a testing plan for testing a network configuration regarding zero-rating. By causing the test agent to implement the testing plan,the server causes the test agent to send one or more requests to one or more respective predetermined IP addresses. The server receives data indicating results of the one or more requests. The serverfurther uses the data to identify whether the network configuration is potentially misconfigured regarding zero-rating. In response to identifying that the network configuration is potentially misconfigured regarding zero-rating, the server sends a notification of the potential misconfiguration to a network operator.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to network communication, including but not limited to a distribution test plan from a server device for a network configuration with a zero charge rate on an electronic device. Background technique [0002] Mobile devices have become more and more important to mean consumers access, download and consume electronic content on the Internet. [0003] Despite the massive advances in telecommunications technology, however, the achievable access to the Internet and the data rate used to access content on the Internet are still limited. Given the limited availability of Internet access in certain geographic regions (e.g., developing countries), consumers often have difficulty accessing the Internet, and therefore often feel frustrated when using mobile devices. In addition, it is difficult to monitor the network configuration on the server system to understand whether the network is correctly configured and the service for I...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Despite numerous advances in telecommunication technology, however, the achievable access to the Internet and the data rates used to access content on the Internet are still limited

Given the limited availability of Internet access in certain geographic areas (e.g., developing countries), consumers often have difficulty accessing the Internet and are therefore often frustrated when using mobile devices

Furthermore, it is difficult to monitor the network configuration on the server system to understand whether the network is properly configured and services for Internet access are correctly provided to the corresponding user equipment (e.g., mobile devices)
