Abstract
A current operational health of a Telephone Network Switch (TNS) is determined by selectively using only certain parameters. These selected parameters, both internal and external to the TNS, are those that most influence the operational health. The operational health of the TNS is projected into the future in order to forecast the TNS performance. Not only can a current or future deviation be determined, but also a source of the deviation is identified allowing for a focused preventative maintenance effort.
