Channel predictive behavior and fault analysis may be provided. A forward time value may be determined comprising a time a forward signal takes to travel from a transmitter over a channel to the receiver. Next, a reflected time value may be determined comprising a time a reflected signal takes to travel to the receiver. The reflected signal may be associated with the forward signal. A discontinuity may then be determined to exist on the channel based on the forward time value and the reflected time value. The reflected signal may be caused by the discontinuity and a high impedance or low impedance at the transmitter present after the forward signal is sent.
