Abstract
This invention provides an improved graphical user interface (GUI) for telecommunications network administration. The GUI allows a network administrator to maintain an association between a link bundle and the contents of that link bundle by displaying a network topology including the link bundle, as well as the contents of that link bundle in the same window. The GUI further allows easy navigation between groups of NE's wherein there are a number of inter-group links extending from a particular NE, by displaying characteristics of these links in the same window as a network topology of the NE group under investigation, and allowing the user to follow a selected one of these links to a different NE group.
