Abstract

A method of monitoring broadcast or multicast streaming service in a communications network comprising collecting (102) quality feedbacks related to the streaming service, determining (106) a maximum distance to a neighbor in a cluster and a minimum number of values required to form a cluster (106). The method further comprises grouping (108) collected values from the feedbacks into clusters based on the maximum distance to a neighbor in a cluster and the minimum number of values required to form a cluster and then mapping (112) the clusters onto topology of the network and determining (114) location of a problem causing degradation of the service.
