ABSTRACT:
In an illustrative method for providing enhanced SONET network analysis, data related to the structure of a SONET network is identified, for example, in a database. The data comprises details regarding the network elements that form the SONET network as well as data regarding how the network elements are interconnected to form the SONET network. From the identified data, the nodes comprised in the SONET network are identified. Similarly, the plurality of communication links located between the identified nodes are retrieved from the data. Using the information identifying the nodes and plurality of communication links, a graphical representation of the SONET network is generated. In the graphical representation of the SONET network, nodes may be represented, for example, with a plurality of lines extending radially from a common point. Communication links between nodes are represented by lines that extend between the radial lines. An operator of a system upon which the graphical representation is displayed may select one or more of the lines in the graphical representation. Upon receipt of a selection input, data regarding the selected network element or communication link is identified in the data retrieved from the database and displayed.
