24/7 transport stream monitoring software package continuously checks transport stream for compliance to TR 101 290 and compares each stream to a user-created template (defining the expected properties of the transport stream); any violations of the TR 101 290 rules or mismatches to the template are logged in a database and can be signalled to an NMS through SNMP traps or as an IP/UDS-based message; keeps logs of statistical information (such as bit rates, number of CC errors and scrambled status), tables and individual components in the monitored stream; monitors multiple transport streams simultaneously, applying different test criteria to each stream.
