Abstract
A computerized virtual entity pathway visualization method and system provide a virtual entity packet pathway display indicating a packet pathway along which a data packet would travel from between virtual entities (e.g., virtual machines) in a computer system. One implementation includes modeling of a computer system having physical and virtual entities, identifying a packet pathway from a source virtual entity in the computer system to a destination virtual entity in the computer system, and rendering on a computer display screen a packet pathway and an arrangement of plural active icons corresponding to physical and virtual entities included in the packet pathway from the source virtual entity to the destination virtual entity.
