Claims28
A method comprising:
- in a network, collecting data about a packet passing from a source system to a destination system;
- generating a markup language graphical file based on the collected data;
- and
- displaying the markup language graphics file.
A method comprising:
- in a network, tracing routes from a source system to the destination systems;
- for each of the routes, storing data representing a node identification, a hop time, and a travel time from the source system to an intermediate node;
- generating an interactive markup language graphics file for the data;
- and
- displaying the interactive markup language graphics file.
A computer program stored on a computer readable-medium, the computer program comprising instructions that cause a computer to:
- collect data in a network from a source system to destination systems;
- generate a markup language graphics file for the collected data;
- and
- display the markup language graphics file.
A computer program stored on a computer readable-medium, the computer program comprising instructions that cause a computer to:
- periodically trace network routes from a source system to the destination systems;
- for each of the routes, store data representing a node identification, a hop time, and a travel time from the source system to an intermediate node;
- generate an interactive markup language graphics file for the data;
- and
- display the interactive markup language graphics file.
