1. A method for analyzing a network, comprising:
- processing a data trace captured from the network to determine a network topology;
processing the data trace to determine errors in network conversation;
processing the data trace to determine at least one metric for the network conversation;
displaying an interface screen to the user, the interface screen comprising a graphical topology representation, a determined error representation, and a representation of at least one determined metric.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a graphical user interface for a network analysis method. The method includes processing a data trace captured from the network to determine a network topology, processing the data trace to determine errors in network conversation, processing the data trace to determine at least one metric for the network conversation, and displaying an interface screen to the user, the interface screen comprising a graphical topology representation, a determined error representation, and a representation of at least one determined metric.

6. A method for analyzing a network and displaying analysis results to a user in an interactive display, comprising:
-
capturing a data trace from the network with at least one analyzer;
processing the data trace to determine a topology of the network;
processing the data trace to determine the presence of errors in communications between devices in the network topology; and
displaying a graphical user interface to the user, the graphical user interface comprising topology information, determined error information, and metric information. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for analyzing a network and presenting the network analysis to the user, comprising:
-
determining a network topology;
determining communication errors between devices in the network topology;
determining at least one communication metric;
displaying the determined network topology to the user; and
providing links between each device in the determined topology and determined errors corresponding to each device, each link operating to display a screen illustrating a description of the error for the device and the location of the error in the communication metric. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
