Abstract

A tangible computer-readable medium encoded with an executable computer program for retrieving information from an internet protocol network is provided. The internet protocol network includes a plurality of tangible session initiation protocol entities that exchange session initiation protocol events via the internet protocol network, wherein each of the plurality of tangible session initiation protocol entities store exchanged session initiation protocol events. The tangible computer-readable medium includes an accessing code segment that, when executed, accesses the exchanged session initiation protocol events that are stored in one of the tangible session initiation protocol entities. A parsing code segment, when executed, parses the exchanged session initiation protocol events that are stored in the one of the tangible session initiation protocol entities based on a parsing parameter. Thereafter, a reporting code segment, when executed, displays results of the parsing code segment on a display.

wherein the accessing code segment, when executed, accesses the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that are stored in each of the plurality of tangible session initiation protocol entities, and

wherein the parsing code segment, when executed, parses the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that are stored in each of the plurality of tangible session initiation protocol entities based on the parsing parameter.

7. The tangible computer-readable medium as set forth in claim 2,

wherein the parsing code segment, when executed, parses the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events based on the parsing parameter and determines specific data for each of the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that corresponds to the parsing parameter, and

wherein the reporting code segment, when executed, displays the specific data for each of the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that corresponds to the parsing parameter on the display.

8. The tangible computer-readable medium as set forth in claim 2,

wherein the parsing code segment, when executed, parses the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events based on the parsing parameter and determines general data for the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that correspond to the parsing parameter, and

wherein the reporting code segment, when executed, displays the general data for the exchanged session initiation protocol events and the received non-session initiation protocol events that correspond to the parsing parameter on the display.

9. The tangible computer-readable medium as set forth in claim 2, further comprising:

a prompting code segment that, when executed, prompts, on the display, for the parsing parameter; and

a receiving code segment that receives the parsing parameter via an input.

10. The tangible computer-readable medium as set forth in claim 1, wherein the accessing code segment, the parsing code segment, and the reporting code segment are platform independent.

11. The tangible computer-readable medium as set forth in claim 1,
