  • Visualizing communication networks using social networking algorithms
    Patent number: 11729069
    Abstract: A method that may include receiving network information indicative of (a) network elements that comprise edge network element, (b) connectivity between the network elements, and (c) connectivity of edge network elements to one or more other networks; and generating a visual representation of the network, the visual representation comprises multiple layers, each layer comprises one or more of the network elements of the network, wherein different layers are associated with different importance values; wherein the visual representation is associated with selection metadata for selecting which part out of multiple parts of the visual representation to display, wherein each part comprises at least a part of a single layer the multiple layers.
