Abstract
A system, and a corresponding method, implemented on a suitable computing device, provides for troubleshooting a network using path topology. The system includes a network node manager that generates and displays a path topology. The path topology a most probable path between two end point elements in the network. The most probable path includes one or more network elements disposed between the two end point elements, and the path topology includes identities of each of the network elements. The system also includes a health report generator, coupled to the network node manager, that receives identities of each of the network elements, determines summary performance information for each of the network elements, and displays the summary performance information.
