Abstract

Various methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for determining effects of non-network elements on resource utilization. According to various implementations of the invention, a method may include receiving traffic data. The method may include associating the network traffic data with a non-network element, which may operate on the mobile network but are not part of an infrastructure of the mobile network. The method may include determining a first communication procedure used by the one or more non-network elements based on the associated network traffic data. The method may include determining a utilization of network resources by the one or more non-network elements based on the first communication procedure. The network may further include determining a change in the utilization of network resources based on a second communication procedure.
