Chronic network conditions are caused by performance impairing events that occur intermittently over an extended period of time. Such conditions can cause repeated performance degradation to customers, and sometimes can even turn into serious hard failures. It is therefore critical to troubleshoot and repair chronic network conditions in a timely fashion in order to ensure high reliability and performance in large IP networks. Today, troubleshooting chronic conditions is often performed manually, making it a tedious, time-consuming and error-prone process.
