Claim One:
1. A method of determining a state of a network model representing at least a portion of a network, the method comprising: receiving a new focal time for the network model; evaluating the new focal time with respect to a current focal time of the network mode; selecting a keyframe of network data in response to a determination that there is at least one keyframe of network data having a time between the current focal time of the model and the new focal time; modifying the state of the network model with the selected keyframe of network data and setting the current focal time of the network model to the time of the selected keyframe of network data in response to selecting the keyframe of network data; selecting a set of network event data occuring between the current focal time of the network model and at least the new focal time; and modifying the state of the network model with the selected set of network event data.
