Abstract
A DSL management system predicts achieving improved DSL line performance before a DSL optimizer optimizes performance of the DSL line. The system obtains a current state of performance of the DSL line before optimization and a target state of performance after optimization. The system further obtains a measure of DSL line characteristics and identifies, from records of performance information associated with DSL lines, a subset of records associated with a subset of DSL lines that have a similar measure of the DSL line characteristics as the DSL line for which achieving improved performance is predicted. The system obtains a probability that the DSL optimizer will optimize the performance of the DSL line based on a frequency with which the identified subset of records indicates that the optimizer previously has optimized the performance of the subset of DSL lines.
