Abstract

In an embodiment, a system and method which monitors a signaling plane for error events among one or more network nodes in a converged network. The system and method classifies and calculates, based on user defined parameters, a threshold value or percentage of error events which occur within a desired amount of time and automatically triggers an alert in the network that a potential network connectivity problem exists in the transport plane. In an embodiment, the trigger automatically initiates troubleshooting procedures to solve the network connectivity problem.
