Methods and systems are disclosed for receiving data from each of a plurality of components in a network, the components being arranged as a plurality of multicast trees, the data from each of the components indicating a structure of a portion of the network and at least one attribute associated with the respective component. The disclosure further provides for determining, based on the data, a structure of at least some of the multicast trees, receiving search criteria, and determining which of the multicast trees meet the search criteria. 1. A method , comprising:receiving data, from a plurality of components arranged as a plurality of multicast trees in a network, indicating a structure of at least a portion of the network and attributes associated with the components;receiving at least one search criterion; anddetermining, based on the data including the structure of the at least a portion of the network indicated by the data, at least one of the plurality of multicast trees that meet the at least one search criterion.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the attributes is an attribute chosen from the following attributes: a data rate as measured at one of the components claim 1 , an error rate as measured at one of the components claim 1 , and a packet rate as measured at one of the components claim 1 , and wherein the at least one search criterion specifies at least one rate chosen from the following rates: a data rate claim 1 , an error rate claim 1 , and a packet rate.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one search criterion specifies a particular one or more of the attributes as being associated with one or more of the components.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one search criterion specifies a particular quantitative difference between one or more of the attributes that are associated with different ones of the components.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said determining comprises comparing at least a portion of the ...
