The Assistant benefits customers with respect to the following aspects:
Quickly and efficiently obtaining the QoS of the entire network
Reducing the test workload required by network adjustment
Providing profound and effective problem location information.
Providing sharable analysis methods, and thus reducing the requirements for t
