A method for proactively managing a fault in a video and data network is provided. The method includes collecting network correlation data for the fault. Additionally, a physical connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed. Physical connectivity data from the physical connectivity test is collected. Also, a virtual connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed. Virtual connectivity data from the virtual connectivity test is collected. The network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is then correlated based on the fault. Once the correlation is performed, a defined resolution procedure for resolving the fault using the correlated network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one embodiment, a method for proactively managing a fault in a video and data network is provided.
In one embodiment, the method includes collecting network correlation data for the fault.
Additionally, a physical connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed.
Physical connectivity data from the physical connectivity test is collected.
Also, a virtual connectivity test of the video and data network is automatically performed.
Virtual connectivity data from the virtual connectivity test is collected.
The network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is then correlated based on the fault.
Once the correlation is performed, a defined resolution procedure for resolving the fault using the correlated network correlation data, physical connectivity data, and virtual connectivity data is provided.
In one embodiment, the video and data network comprises a type of Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) network, such as a Very high bit rate DSL (VDSL).
A further understanding of the nature and advantages of the invention herein may be realized by reference of the remaining portions in the specification and the attached drawings.
