Abstract
Statistically determining the average network speed in a communications network is disclosed. A network is analyzed to determine an arrangement for speed test servers to collect network speed data. A plurality of speed test servers is dispersed in the network according to the determined arrangement. Speed tests are performed using the plurality of speed test servers to gather the network speed data for a plurality of network elements. The network speed data gathered from the plurality of speed servers is provided to a central database. The gathered network speed data in the central database is statistically analyzed to generate a model of average network speed for each of the plurality of network elements.
