Abstract

A graphical user interface (GUI) can support the effective and efficient supervision of increasingly complex distributed switching hardware and software. The GUI can support a concurrent view of all processors and linkages comprising a distributed switching platform. The GUI can present users with a visual representation of all processors in the distributed switch and with a direct way to supervise those processors.
