Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 592,285 Entitled “Proactive Network Analysis System” filed Jul. 29, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to network administration and optimization, more particularly the present invention relates to a network analyses tool for minimizing network downtime and maximizing network operation and efficiencies. [0004] 2. Background Information [0005] A LAN, or “local area network”, is a computer network generally spanning a relatively small area, such as in an office or a home and are capable of transmitting data at very fast rates. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over distances via telephone lines and radio waves, forming a wide area network or WAN. Most LANs connect end user devices such as workstations and personal computers, known as nod...
