ConnectivityInsights Session Insights API Description
- Alberto Ramos Monaga
API Description
The โSession Insightsโ API allows an application developer to create a session with a network operator. The application can then share Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as:
Latency,
jitter,
packet loss,
bitrate.
The Session Insights API is closely related to the Connectivity Insights APIs. The network operator can monitor these KPIs and determine a Session Insights score. These KPIs are aligned with the attributes in the Connectivity Insightsย application profileย to maintain consistency across CAMARA. If the score ever drops below certain thresholds, an event can be triggered. The network operator can then determine root cause and suggest corrective actions either to the application or to the network.
Use Cases
Wi-Fi Congestion: Wi-Fi congestion at a service site is affecting video conferencing performance, reflecting lower Session Insights scores and poor video quality.
Network Impairments: Issues in the operatorโs network can lead to degradation in latency, jitter, packet loss, and bitrate, reflecting lower Session Insights scores and poor video quality.
Benefits
Application developers can now have better insights into what is going on in the network and receive corrective actions from the network operator. Sample recommendations include:
Create a HomeDeviceQoD session for Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) enablement,
application configuration updates,
request service improvements.
