Abstract
A method and apparatus of automatically identifying IMA links of an asynchronous transfer mode network and automatically configuring a distributed network analyzer to monitor the identified IMA links. Information is selectively extracted from streams of cell data exchanged across an asynchronous transfer mode network to automatically identify IMA links of the asynchronous transfer mode network, and automatically configuring a distributed network analyzer to monitor the identified IMA links. A graphical user interface is provided to display status information of the automatically identified IMA links of an asynchronous transfer mode network based on monitoring of the identified IMA links using a distributed network analyzer automatically configured to monitor the identified IMA links.
