Abstract
A system for determining bandwidth usage from a plurality of subscribers in a cable network; the system including an engine component comprising a computer processor receiving data from an Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR) module and from a subscriber module; the engine component configured to receive requests from an Application Programming Interface (API) module to retrieve or manipulate data and to return a reporting result; the IPDR module collecting IPDR data from a plurality of cable modem termination systems (CMTS); and wherein the data collected by the IPDR module from the plurality of CMTS is normalized by the IPDR module executing a normalization algorithm prior to the engine component returning a reporting result.
