Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for analyzing a network topology are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include receiving data from a node in a node array with a locating device, determining a position of the locating device, determining a position of the node in relation to the locating device based on the data received from the node and the position of the locating device, comparing the position of the node to a defined layout of the node array, and determining whether the position of the node matches a defined position in the defined layout of the node array.
Claims20
A method for analyzing a network topology:
- receiving data from a node in a node array with a locating device;
- determining a position of the locating device;
- determining a position of the node in relation to the locating device based on the data received from the node and the position of the locating device;
- comparing the position of the node to a defined position in the defined layout of the node array;
- and
- determining whether the position of the node matches the defined position in the defined layout of the node array.
A machine-readable non-transitory medium storing instructions for analyzing a network topology, executable by a machine to cause the machine to:
- receive data from a node in a node array with a locating device, wherein the data is received by the locating device at a plurality of different positions of the locating device;
- determine a position of the locating device on a node array map;
- determine a position of the node in relation to the locating device based on the data received from the node and the position of the locating device on the node array map at each of the plurality of different positions of the locating device;
- compare the position of the node to a defined layout of h node array;
- and
- determine whether the position of the made matches defined position in the defined layout of the node array.
A system for analyzing a network topology, the system comprising a processing resource in communication with a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the computer-readable medium contains a set of instructions and wherein the processing resource is designed to execute the set of instructions to:
- receive data from a node in a node array with a locating device;
- determine a position of the locating device on a node array map;
- determine a position of the node in relation to the locating device based on the data received from the node and the position of the locating device on the node array map;
- determine whether the position of the node matches a defined position in a defined layout of the node array;
- and
- determine a change to make to the position of the node to match the position of the node to the defined position in the defined layout of the node array.
