  • Systems and methods for constructing multi-layer topological models of computer networks
    Patent number: 7752024
    Abstract: A network management system includes a fault diagnosis engine, a topology mapper, an impact analyzer and a help desk system. The topology mapper includes a discovery module, a memory, and a presentation module. The discovery module is constructed and arranged to discover network elements in a communications network. The memory constructed and arranged to store topology data received from the discovery module. The presentation module constructed and arranged to present data related to topology of the communication network.

  • Systems and methods for diagnosing faults in computer networks
    Patent number: 7237138
    Abstract: A network management system (10) includes a fault diagnosis system (12) connectable to a communications network (20). The fault diagnosis system includes a fault object factory, a path determination module, and a fault diagnosis engine. The fault object factory is constructed and arranged to receive fault data and create fault objects. The path determination module is constructed to determine, in a communications network, a path related to the fault data. The fault diagnosis engine is constructed to perform, using the determined path, a fault analysis on the fault data to diagnose a fault related to the communications network. The network management may also include a help desk system (18), a topology mapper (14) or an impact analyzer (16).
