ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for network outage assessment. An outage tool retrieves a scheduled site list from a network management interface for a data network. The scheduled site list specifies sites associated with the network management interface that are scheduled to be active and sites that are scheduled to be inactive. The outage tool retrieves communication site lists from gateways associated with the network management interface. Each of the communication site lists is associated with a corresponding gateway and specifies sites that are in communication with the corresponding gateway. The outage tool identifies sites that are listed as the sites associated that are scheduled to be active and absent from the sites that are in communication with the corresponding gateway as a list of outage sites. The outage tool outputs outage site data based on the list of outage sites to the user interface to enable a management action.
