ABSTRACT:
A network diagnostics system allows determining a root cause for a network problem caused by a local or a remote component of the network, wherein the network diagnostic system may receive the symptoms of such a problem from an application. The network diagnostic system uses a plurality of helper classes, each of the plurality of helper classes providing diagnostic information about an object or a class of objects on the network. Moreover, the network diagnostic system may also use one or more extensible helper classes that are designed to receive information from third party helper classes.
