What are segments?
A cable network can be divided into several segments. These segments relate to Internet, phone and VoD over cable network. Within a segment share the internet customers the available capacity.
With this plugin can be determined whether the cause of a slow internet connection is on a high utilization in the segment, ie the cable operator has too many customers in one segment.
After installing the plugin extensions can be found in the menu.
