摘要：The invention broadly comprises a computer-based method for presenting

information regarding network performance and topology. The steps of the methodinclude: displaying a first plurality of nodes in the network; displaying edges associatedwith the first plurality of nodes; and, displaying latency associated with the edges. Thepreceding steps, and those that follow, are performed by at least one general-purposecomputer specially programmed to perform these steps. In some aspects, the methodselects the first plurality of nodes. In some aspects, the network comprises a plurality ofISPs with respective pluralities of nodes and the respective pluralities of nodes comprisesthe first plurality of nodes. In some aspects, displaying a first plurality of nodes, edges,and latency is independent of cooperation from the plurality of ISPs. In some aspects, themethod gathers information regarding the first plurality of nodes from vantage pointsoutside the first plurality of nodes.
