Systems and methods are disclosed for visualizing a point to multi-point network, such as a network including Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) using a visualization techniques used for point-to-point networks. For example, for a selected start and end node, intervening nodes may be identified and any protection rings also identified. A blocking port for each ring is identified and based thereon a path through the ring is identified. A trail between the start and end node is then generated using the current path through the protection rings. The trail may then be represented graphically. Unblocking of a blocked port of a ring may be detected and a new path through the ring may be determined and represented graphically. Status indicators may be included in the updated representation of the ring to indicate the presence of a failure condition.
A method for visualizing a network including one or more protection rings, the method comprising, by a computer system:
A system for visualizing a network, the network including a plurality of nodes and one or more protection rings, the system being in data communication with at least one of the plurality of nodes and comprising one or more processors and one or more memory devices in data communication with the one or more processors, the one or more memory devices storing executable and operational data effective to cause the one or more processors to:
