Abstract

Fault isolation in over-the-top content (OTT) broadband networks is disclosed. Network topology information associated with a network service provider is received. Session information associated with one or more streaming sessions is received. A predictive model is generated for predicting session quality at least in part by using at least some of the network topology and session summary information as features. The predictive model is used to determine a first prediction of session quality using a first set of feature values. A second set of feature values is generated at least in part by replacing a first feature value in the first set of feature values with a replacement value. The predictive model is used to determine a replacement prediction of session quality using the second set of feature values including the replacement value with which the first feature value was replaced. Based at least in part on the first prediction and the replacement prediction, an impact of the first feature value on session quality is determined. A fault in a content delivery ecosystem is isolated based at least in part on the determined impact of the first feature value on session quality.
