ICTTEN615 — Manage network traffic

1 Evaluate network capacity and traffic congestion

• 1.1Obtain work details, planned network strategy and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
• 1.2Interrogate system monitoring alerts and alarms and identify areas of route and circuit unavailability
• 1.3Assess planned and unplanned outages to determine network unavailability and verify restoration times
• 1.4Obtain and interrogate network management system and identify traffic status
• 1.5Analyse system alert and identify real and potential traffic problems
• 1.6Analyse customer complaints and traffic measurement data to identify network problems
• 1.7Activate and deactivate semi-permanent controls active in the network on a regular basis to simulate irregular traffic

2 Develop traffic control strategies

• 2.1Conduct traffic measurements across all required routes
• 2.2Analyse results, historical data and traffic volume requirements
• 2.3Determine specific thresholds, loading and grading levels to alter traffic flows
• 2.4Obtain funding parameters and budgeted levels, and determine plan amendments
• 2.5Confirm that traffic control strategies to prevent traffic problems
• 2.6Develop strategies for recovery where traffic congestion occurs
• 2.7Develop contingency plans to allow for problems during network changes

3 Apply short and long-term traffic solutions

• 3.1Implement software changes according to planned network strategy
• 3.2Develop short-term ad hoc solutions where only a temporary solution is required
• 3.3Confirm that reversal action can be initiated in cases of temporary solutions
• 3.4Implement contingency plan where required according to organisational requirements
• 3.5Conduct monitoring of changes and take measurements to assess outcomes of variations
• 3.6Analyse measurements and provide a report to relevant personnel with recommendations for further changes
• 3.7Review and monitor strategies and initiate corrective action where required

4 Detect and take action on traffic congestion

• 4.1Measure and analyse traffic loads to assess congestion problems and determine possible impact
• 4.2Control traffic flow and prevent processor overloads
• 4.3Evaluate potential traffic increases for impact on the network and develop contingencies to control traffic flow if required

5 Provide traffic indicators for capacity planning

• 5.1Predict future potential traffic trends and requirements using data on current and historical traffic patterns
• 5.2Identify potential network traffic problems and make recommendations to network planners
• 5.3Complete reports with recommendations and forward to relevant personnel

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN615 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN615 needs to address all 55 unit components: 5 elements with 27 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 15 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTTEN615?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN615 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTTEN615 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN615 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTTEN615, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
