Abstract:
1. A computer-based method comprising: generating a performance monitoring display output signal operable to cause display of at least a portion of a topology map of a network and a graphical representation of a performance parameter of the network, wherein the graphical representation of the performance parameter is displayed by moving elements, wherein the performance parameter represents utilization of a data throughput capacity of a data connection, wherein the output signal is further operable to cause the graphical representation to include a double line, each of the lines being solid when there is no utilization and replaced by parallel broken lines comprising dashes separated by a distance when there is a level of utilization, the length of the dashes gradually decreasing with increasing utilization, and wherein the dashes are moving elements and the dashes in one of the parallel broken lines moves in a first direction and the dashes in the other one of the parallel broken lines moves in a second direction opposite of the first direction to represent two channel data flow.
