Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying network performance information at a physical display, comprising: (a) selecting an aggregated end-to-end connection profile of a first network node; wherein aggregated end-to-end connection profiles specify a combination of end-to-end connections; wherein the end-to-end connections are virtual private network (VPN) connections; (b) retrieving network performance information corresponding to each aggregated end-to-end connection profile from at least one storage unit, wherein the network performance information is stored in the at least one storage unit; wherein the network performance information is determined at the first network node using steps comprising: (c) displaying the network performance information corresponding to the aggregated end-to-end connection profile in a table; wherein the table comprises a first plurality of columns to indicate network interfaces used in an end-to-end connection, a second plurality of columns to indicate network performance information corresponding to an end-to-end connection or an aggregated end-to-end connection; wherein when network performance information corresponding to an aggregated end-to-end connection is displayed, the network performance information is an average of network performance information of each end-to-end connection in the aggregated end-to-end connection; wherein the network performance information is selected from a group consisting of throughput, packet loss rate, latency, packet drop rate, packet jitter, end-to-end connection setup time, frequency of out-of-order packet arrival and round trip time (RTT); and (d) displaying network performance information corresponding to each end-to-end connection of the selected aggregated end-to-end connection profile in a bar chart, wherein each bar of the bar chart represents network performance information of each end-to-end connection, and wherein an average network performance is indicated with a horizontal line.
