The patent filed by Zscaler Inc. describes a system and method for monitoring user performance to ensure the quality of digital experience across an enterprise. The system collects telemetry data from user devices regarding ISP performance, creates baselines using various metrics, trains a Machine Learning model to predict blackouts and brownouts, and identifies these events when real-time performance falls below the model's thresholds. The system uses traceroutes, measures metrics like Page Fetch Time and latency, and considers external data like BGP route announcements to calculate the magnitude of blackouts and brownouts, representing them graphically.

The patent also outlines a method for implementing this system external to user devices, collecting telemetry data, creating baselines, training a Machine Learning model, and identifying blackouts and brownouts based on real-time performance. By computing the distance of current metrics from baselines, using traceroutes, and considering metrics like probe error rates and route stability, the system can accurately predict and represent the impact of ISP performance issues. The method also differentiates between low-impact blackouts affecting a small group of users and more significant incidents affecting a larger user base, such as backbone ISP issues. Additionally, the system computes baseline metrics periodically to adapt to changing network conditions, ensuring ongoing monitoring and optimization of digital experience quality.
