Abstract
A system and method processes messages related to nodes in a network and provides reports according to those messages to allow analysis of the network.
Claims15
A method of identifying issues in a network, comprising:
- a) receiving a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages describing at least one link in the network;
- b) storing each of the plurality of messages;
- c) for each link corresponding to at least some of the plurality of messages received, counting the number of messages received that describe said link and are not identified as explained;
- d) identifying a link with the highest number of messages per link and that are not identified as explained;
- e) for each message describing the link identified:
- i) assigning the message to a group;
- and
- ii) identifying the message as explained;
- repeating steps d and e, including e (i) and e (ii) at least once, using the messages not identified as explained;
- and
- f) displaying a report responsive to steps d and e, including e (i) and e (ii).

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for identifying issues in a network, the computer program product comprising computer readable program code configured to cause a computer system to:
- a) receive a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages describing at least one link in the network;
- b) store each of the plurality of messages;
- c) for each link corresponding to at least some of the plurality of messages received, count the number of messages received that describe said link and are not identified as explained;
- d) identify a link with the highest number of messages per link and that are not identified as explained;
- e) for each message describing the link identified:
- i) assign the message to a group;
- and
- ii) identify the message as explained;
- repeating operation of computer readable program code d and e, including e (i) and e (ii) at least once using the messages not identified as explained;
- and
- f) display a report responsive to the computer readable program code d and e, including e (i) and e(ii).

- a) receiving a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages describing at least one link in the computer network;
- b) storing each of the plurality of messages;
- c) for each link corresponding to at least some of the plurality of messages received, counting the number of messages received that describe said link and are not identified as explained;
- d) identifying a link with the highest number of messages per link and that are not identified as explained;
- e) for each message describing the link identified:
- i) assigning the message to a group;
- and
- ii) identifying the message as explained;
- f) repeating d and e, including e (i) and e (ii) at least once using the messages not identified as explained;
- and
- g) displaying a report responsive to the computer readable program code d and e, including e (i) and e(ii).
