Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for determining if an alarm originating from a component within a communications network impacts service of said network. One embodiment includes scanning a first data structure for faulty network components which may potentially affect network service, determining network components that are supported by the faulty network component, calculating a percentage of the network components indicating a fault, and determining if the percentage of the network components is above a threshold. If the percentage is above the threshold the faulty network component is determined to be service impacting. Finally, communicating to a second data structure that the faulty network component impacts service of the communications network.
