Methods and systems for Internet Protocol (IP) address allocation optimization. A method includes a data collector collecting IP address information from sources of IP address inventory and an optimization controller generating a data set from the collected IP address information, minimizing IP address allocations for network components in a network using IP address allocation and IP address utilization for a network component from the data set, minimizing IP address inventory costs using IP address inventory and IP address utilization from the data set and IP address transactional costs, tracking the IP address inventory, sending configuration information to network component(s) to change respective IP address allocations based on minimized IP address allocation, sending transaction information to IP address provider(s) to change the IP address inventory based on minimized IP address inventory costs, and performing the above on a defined interval.

Systems, methods, and devices for identifying and responding to illegitimate devices on a service provider network include computing devices that are configured to collect dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) information related to a device (e.g., a modem, etc.) that establishes or requests to establish an internet protocol (IP) connection to the service provider network. The computing devices may determine features based on the collected DHCP information, apply the determined features to a classification model, and predict whether the device is an illegitimate device based on a result of applying the determined features to the classification model. The computing devices may perform a responsive action (e.g., blacklist or quarantine the device, etc.) in response to predicting that the device is an illegitimate device.

A commercial process with a dependent variable can be associated with a set of independent variables. The commercial process can continuously provide data collection opportunities. An intervention is designed using a model to predict the dependent outcome. The actual outcome of the intervention can be determined within the window of utility for these data. One objective is to improve intervention outcomes with prediction. Purely random outcomes (no model prediction) and outcomes resulting from the intervention (model operations) are aggregated into separate files&#x2014;a sequence of control model data files and a sequence of model data files of operational data. These model data files and control model data files are used to analyze model performance and to react automatically when identified conditions warrant.

Dynamic model data facility and automated operational model building and usage

Computer processor hardware receives data associated with a set of elements in a network. The computer processor hardware assigns a unique identifier value to each respective element in the network. To produce encoded information representative of the network, the computer processor hardware chooses an attribute list indicating different attributes pertinent to the set of elements. For each unique identifier value indicating a corresponding network element, the computer processor hardware utilizes the received data to produce a corresponding set of encoded information indicating settings for the attributes in the list. The computer processor hardware produces a set of encoded information for each of the unique identifier values (and corresponding network elements) into an analytics data set defining the network. The analytics data set indicates all relationships amongst the network elements allowing complete end-to-end network architectures to be evaluated or focus to be placed on specific sub-segments of the network in order to evaluate processes and function at a micro level. It also allows associating costs to delivery service levels, to timing of deployment, or any wide variety of analysis dependent on the combined operation of network components.

Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms or apparatus for analyzing cable modem termination system (CMTS) streams by correlating anomalies found in full spectrum CMTS upstream data to changes in cable modem operational settings to identify and correct network fault conditions, model CMTS behavior, improve network performance and the like.
