Top Congested Access Network Locations Geographic Distribution report

Top Congested Access Network Location Geographic Distribution report overview

The Top Congested Access Network Locations Geographic Distribution report shows a table ranking the selected ANLs by impact intensity, showing the geographic locations of each ANL. The impact intensity value models the impact that congestion may have had on traffic flowing through the ANL for the selected time intervals. A higher value represents a higher potential impact, hence lower QoE for traffic at the location.

The table can be sorted ascending or descending by rank.

Congestion propensity

Congestion propensity is defined as the percentage of time an ANL is congested for a selected period of interest, for example, the past three days between 6 and 11 PM local time. The period of interest for congestion propensity can be the same as the report range or different.

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.
