Abstract
A Long Term Evolution (LTE) network management system processes and displays Internet Protocol (IP) usage data between LTE network elements. A routing system exchanges IP packets between the LTE network elements using Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) modules. The routing system generates usage data associating individual ones on the VRF modules with amounts of IP packets exchanged between the LTE network elements. A network control system processes the usage data to determine the amounts of the IP packets exchanged between the LTE network elements for each of the individual VRF modules. The network control system graphically displays the amounts of IP packets exchanged between the LTE network elements for each of the individual VRF modules.
