  • Method of displaying changes in call status between nodes within a connection-oriented network
    Patent number: 6105065
    Abstract: A method of identifying calls between nodes within a connection-oriented network is described. The method commences with the step of identifying first and second network devices within the connection-oriented network. Thereafter, in concurrent first and second operations, network management information is retrieved from the first and second network devices. The management information is processed to identify nodes and calls within the connection-oriented network. Specifically, a group of nodes resident of the first and second network is identified, and a set of calls for which the identified nodes are end-points is determined. In one exemplary embodiment, the management information is processed to identify any other nodes which are end-points of the identified calls. The management information collected in the first and second operations is correlated to determine which of the nodes are in communication with each other via the identified calls.
