Methods, Systems, and Products for Network Topology

摘要

Methods, systems, and products simulate a topology of a residential home network. The residential home network has a residential gateway and one or more devices communicating with the residential gateway. Each device is queried by the residential gateway for configuration and performance data. A simulated view of a topology of the residential home network is then generated.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising: sending queries from a residential gateway over a home network to devices communicating with the residential gateway; receiving performance data in response to the queries; generating a simulated view of a topology of the home network; generating icons in the simulated view that represent the residential gateway and each one of the devices; generating a simulated communications link in the simulated view that represents a corresponding physical communications link between the residential gateway and the each one of the devices; determining a bandwidth being consumed by the each one of the devices; and graphically illustrating the bandwidth in the simulated view.
