System and method for displaying network status in a network topology

摘要

An electronic network is monitored by a plurality of diagnostic tools. When a first diagnostic tool determines that a portion of the electronic network is not operating within a preselected specification, at least one other diagnostic tool is instructed to analyze that portion of the network. The data generated by the diagnostic tools is correlated to better determine the cause of the network not operating within the preselected specification, which is then presented to a network user.
