Systems and methods for network profiling that may be used by a provider of high bandwidth connections to facilitate connectivity and service order entry by customers are disclosed. Typically, the customer has a plurality of client. The network profiling method generally comprises specifying at least one network configuration profile, the specifying including selecting a preferred CPE, selecting a network mode, selecting a network feature, selecting at least one network feature parameter including a static parameter, and defining a value for the static network feature parameter, wherein the network configuration profile includes at least one dynamic network feature parameter, the dynamic parameter having an unspecified value in the network configuration profile. The method further includes selecting one of the at least one network configuration profile and specifying values for the at least one dynamic parameter and optionally includes a validation process for validating the specification of the preferred CPE, the network mode, the network feature, the network feature parameter, and the value for the static network feature parameter. The selecting the preferred CPE may be before or after selecting the network mode and network feature. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Systems and methods for network profiling that may be used by a provider of high bandwidth connections to facilitate connectivity and service order entry by customers and/or clients are disclosed.
It should be appreciated that the present invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, a system, a method, or a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network wherein program instructions are sent over optical or electronic communication lines.
Several inventive embodiments of the present invention are described below.
A method for ordering client service by a customer from a service provider, the customer having a plurality of clients, generally comprises specifying at least one network configuration profile, the specifying including selecting a preferred CPE, selecting a network mode, selecting a network feature, selecting at least one network feature parameter including a static parameter, and defining a value for the static network feature parameter, wherein the network configuration profile includes at least one dynamic network feature parameter, the dynamic parameter having an unspecified value in the network configuration profile.
The method further includes selecting one of the at least one network configuration profile and specifying values for the at least one dynamic parameter.
The specifying at least one network configuration profile may further include a validation process for validating the specification of the preferred CPE, the network mode, the network feature, the network feature parameter, and the value for the static network feature parameter.
The specification of the preferred CPE may be performed before selecting the network mode and network feature.
Alternatively, the selecting the preferred CPE may be from a list of CPEs supporting the selected network mode and selected network feature.
Further, the specification of at least one network configuration profile may include specification of at least one dynamic network feature parameter
