Proactnes II: Visualization for Next Generation Networks

The voice telephony, video distribution, and data transmission services provided over independent legacy networks are being progressively integrated into Internet protocol (IP) networks by telecommunications carriers around the world. Each integrated next-generation all-IP network, which handles data for services having different quality requirements, will provide a multitude of services. Proactnes II is a system for supporting the operational management of network services by providing network visualization. It will contribute to the provision of safe and reliable services and networks. In this paper, we outline the network sensing, voice quality control, failure analysis, and dashboard technologies incorporated into Proactnes II.
