First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- accessing network data;
displaying a graphical timeline on a display;
displaying a position on the graphical timeline representative of the network data for network analysis;
displaying on the display data start and end features in association with the graphical timeline;
displaying on the display selection start and end features in association with the graphical timeline, the selection start and end features being displayed at positions relative to the data start and end features with regard to the corresponding times;
accepting a selection of a new selection start position from a user;
accepting a selection of a new selection end position from the user; and
providing an indication of an amount of selected network data to the user, the indication reflecting a change in the selection of the new selection start position or the selection of the new selection end position;
wherein the amount of selected network data is approximated if a calculation of the amount of selected network data requires more resources than are available.
