M an embodiment, path information, including Layer-3 and/or Layer-2 path information, can be requested between any pair of devices in the network and presented to the user. In an embodiment, path information is provided to the user in an iterative (or gradual) manner as soon as resolved. This allows the user quick access to path information, which both reduces troubleshooting time and enhances the user experience.
