A routing path display method

Abstract

The invention discloses a route path display method, belonging to the technical field of computer network management. The invention is characterized in acquiring system configuration information; acquiring the route topological information according to the system configuration information; displaying the route topological structure according to the topological information; calculating the route path among nodes in the route topological information, and dynamically and visually displaying the route path among the nodes. The invention can display the message of the route path in a pattern form, and represent the progress movement of the message visually in pattern form so as to dynamically display the route process of the message from one router to another router. The invention can provide users with a plurality of selections of display manners; the administrator user can monitor the internal operation process of the network through the invention and know the internal change and control the operation condition of the network immediately; and the common user can gain a better understanding of the internal operation mechanism of the network through the visualized route path, thereby developing a deeper and more direct-viewing perception of the network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer network management, in particular to a method for displaying routing paths. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of today's Internet, the scale of the network is getting bigger and bigger, and the structure is getting more and more complex, which brings great challenges to network operation and management. Routing is the foundation of the Internet, without routing, the Internet would lose its meaning. [0003] A general network management system will establish a network topology structure, but the topology structure can only represent the connection relationship between the network and network devices, but which routers and which networks the traffic between any two networks will pass through is determined by the routing protocol. Among them, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First Protocol) is the most widely used intra-domain routing protocol. The routing path between routers can b...

Problems solved by technology

The routing path between routers can be found through the routing table in the router. The routing path is provided to the router administrator in the form of text. The routing path administrator of these texts seems very inconvenient and cannot be compared with the graphical topology. If the administrator wants to establish a visual thinking, these routing paths must be manually marked on the topology map; when the network fails or routing maintenance is required, the routing path is often changed, and the administrator It is very difficult to compare the routing changes between two times simply through the routing table information on the router; and to understand the routing information on the router requires the administrator to have high professional knowledge; at the same time, from the perspective of management security, People's access to the router is restricted

At present, some large-scale network management systems such as HPOpenView and IBM Tivoli do not have a dedicated routing monitoring module
