Abstract From the Canadian patent

A system for identifying problems in networks receives test data which may include statistical information regarding packet loss on a path. The system creates a signature from the test data and compares the signature to example signatures corresponding to various network conditions. The system identifies one or more of the example signatures which match the test signature. The system may comprise an expert system which applies rules to identify an example signature that the test signature best matches.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 22, 2002 and granted October 22, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 22, 2022.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 22, 2024.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
