Disclosed are systems and methods for evaluating whether to transition operation of a DSL line from a current line profile to one or more target line profiles. For example, in one embodiment, a method provides providing a profile transition matrix, a plurality of threshold tables, a plurality of sub-rules, and an overall rule. The method operates in the current profile and collects operational data on the DSL line. The method further performs one or more tests to evaluate the feasibility of the current line profile and each of the target line profiles, and then transitions the state to operate the DSL line in the highest feasible profile available. Evaluation of the feasibility of staying in the current state or moving to one of the target states may be based on distributions of reported and estimated data distilled from the operational data collected on the DSL line.
