A method for performance managing a service in a video and data network is
provided. The method includes identifying one or more users receiving the
service. Additionally, a physical network transport in the video and data
network is identified for the one or more users. Further, a virtual
network transport in the video and data network is identified for the one
or more users. Then, performance data through the physical network
transport and the virtual network transport is monitored. Once the
performance data is monitored, one or more threshold values for the one
or more users' service are determined and it is determined if the
performance data violates at least one of the one or more threshold
values.
