Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide improved methods, techniques, and systems to compute relevant and useful information that may be presented to users in an understandable, intuitive, and actionable platform. The interactive platform includes a format and visualization that is capable of presenting data for a wide range of protocols and topologies at various functional layers of the network. The interactive platform provides selectable categories of filters which update the network data and views displayed to the users to aid in the analysis and investigation of potential root causes of problems, rather than merely presenting examples of symptoms. The interactive platform includes a method and visualization that is capable of presenting differences in network behavior at various functional layers of the network.
