Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring traffic condition based on mobile device connection information are provided. An example method includes, at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors: identifying, in a plurality of geographical areas, a first geographical area; selecting, in a plurality of cellular towers, a first cellular tower providing cellular coverage to the first geographical area; determining a first total number of cellular signal pings received by the first cellular tower over a first predefined time period; estimating a traffic volume factor for the first geographical area in accordance with the first total number of cellular signal pings; and providing traffic condition associated with the first geographical area to a user, in accordance with the traffic volume factor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the topology of a network. The method, including the step of a generic agent communicating with a plurality of network devices, using a network management protocol, in order to extract data about the network; wherein the generic agent includes a communication algorithm and wherein each network device corresponds to one of a plurality of network device types and the algorithm is adjusted for each network device using a configuration schema based on the corresponding network device type.
