ABSTRACT:
A system, method or facility allow a user to analyze a telecommunications network having virtual private network segments, such as frame relay circuits, where standard network analysis tools fail to identify such circuits. The facility receives identifiers or addresses for such circuits and gathers statistical data with respect thereto. Based on such statistical data, the facility matches end points of the circuits with corresponding starting points. Thus, a network designer or manager may use standard and less expensive hardware in networks employing frame relay circuits, and other virtual private network segments, by employing the facility to fully document and verify the overall configuration of the network environment, without prior knowledge of the network's makeup.
