Summary:A method for operating a data processing system to display data related to a plurality of packets that traverse a communication link is disclosed. A copy of the packets that traverse the link is provided including a timestamp corresponding to each packet that defines a time at which the packet traversed the link. A display is generated having first and second regions. The first region includes an X-Y chart in which each packet is represented by a multi-value glyph denoting a first property related to that packet, the first property having more than two values. The second region includes a first annotation glyph for one of the packets, the first annotation glyph being located at the X-location corresponding to the timestamp for the packet. The first annotation glyph is present if that data packet has a second property.
