Abstract
A system and method for detecting intermittent network performance problems are described herein. The detection process begins upon the receipt of a problem alert signal (PAS). The system then initiates a problem handling process if a predetermined of number of PASs have been received in a predetermined time period prior to receiving the PAS. The system then maintains the problem handling process if additional PASs are received. This system clears the problem and handling processes if no additional PASs are received in a predetermined time period.
