Abstract
An apparatus is provided comprising at least one processing core and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to store plural definitions of geographic areas, each one of the geographic areas enclosing all core network nodes of a single network domain area, determine, for each of the geographic areas, a number of alerting nodes therein, and trigger reverting, or trigger prompting of a user whether to revert, of at least a subset of core network nodes of a first network domain area to prior configurations based on determining that a number of alerting nodes in a geographic area enclosing the core network nodes of the first network domain area exceeds a threshold number.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising at least one processing core and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- store plural definitions of geographic areas, each one of the geographic areas enclosing all core network nodes of a single network domain area;
- determine a number of alerting nodes in each one of the geographic areas, and
- trigger reverting, or trigger prompting of a user whether to revert, of at least a subset of core network nodes of a first network domain area to prior configurations based on determining that a number of alerting nodes in a geographic area enclosing the core network nodes of the first network domain area exceeds a threshold number, wherein the definitions of the geographic areas are polygonal, and wherein the apparatus is configured to determine the geographic areas in which a specific alerting node is located by determining directional angles to polygon vertices of the geographic areas, and to determine the specific alerting node as being located in those geographic areas for which inter-vertex differences of the directional angles to the polygon vertices add up to a full circle.
A method comprising:
- storing plural definitions of geographic areas, each one of the geographic areas enclosing all core network nodes of a single network domain area;
- determining a number of alerting nodes in each one of the geographic areas, and
- triggering reverting, or triggering prompting of a user whether to revert, of at least a subset of core network nodes of a first network domain area to prior configurations based on determining that a number of alerting nodes in a geographic area enclosing the core network nodes of the first network domain area exceeds a threshold number, wherein the definitions of the geographic areas are polygonal, and wherein the method comprises determining the geographic areas in which a specific alerting node is located by determining directional angles to polygon vertices of the geographic areas, and to determine the specific alerting node as being located in those geographic areas for which inter-vertex differences of the directional angles to the polygon vertices add up to a full circle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of computer readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an apparatus to at least:
- store plural definitions of geographic areas, each one of the geographic areas enclosing all core network nodes of a single network domain area;
- determine a number of alerting nodes in each one of the geographic areas, and
- trigger reverting, or triggering prompting of a user whether to revert, of at least a subset of core network nodes of a first network domain area to prior configurations based on determining that a number of alerting nodes in a geographic area enclosing the core network nodes of the first network domain area exceeds a threshold number, wherein the definitions of the geographic areas are polygonal, and wherein the set of computer readable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to determine the geographic areas in which a specific alerting node is located by determining directional angles to polygon vertices of the geographic areas, and to determine the specific alerting node as being located in those geographic areas for which inter-vertex differences of the directional angles to the polygon vertices add up to a full circle.
