Abstract
A next generation performance network management system (') includes a first component () that monitors one or more attributes of network elements (--and) as well as peripheral devices (and) and interconnecting links () to establish an historic trend for each monitored element. A second performance management system component () monitors, on a near real-time basis, critical attributes of elements identified from historic trends as undergoing performance degradation: If such performance degradation persist, as detected by such near real-time monitoring, then the network operator can repair or replace the element in question to maintain network performance.
