A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A GRAPHICAL VIEW OF A NETWORK FROM A NODE'S PERSPECTIVE

摘要

A system and method for providing a display (124) of a communication network from a selected node's (120-2 to 120-4) perspective. The system and method selects a node which gathers network data from the selected nodes (120-2 to 120-4) unique perspective of the network. An illustrative display of network topology is then created from the collected data, presenting a display (124) of a communication network as perceived by the selected node. The display (124) is user configurable and is automatically updated as network topology changes.
