ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and medium for presenting network-infrastructure information in an intuitive, easy-to-understand format is provided. The method includes retrieving data-routing information, retrieving equipment-location information, and then rendering on a map one or more line segments corresponding to the data-routing information and one or more equipment identifiers associated with said equipment-location information. A database is used to generate the map. This database is preferably a database that is also used to track communications pathways and equipment devices so that each map is dynamically generated from current data.
