Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing visualization of a telecommunications network topology. In an embodiment, a request is sent for data matching a search query. A response is then received at a client device that includes a data object containing a plurality of data fields and corresponding field values. These data fields and corresponding field values collectively define a plurality of communications paths in the telecommunications network. Each path describes the topological structure of network objects in the path of communication between two network objects. The received data object is then processed at the client device to generate a visual representation of each path defined in the data object. Finally, the generated visual representations are displayed at the client device in an interactive, graphical user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing data related to network elements in a telecommunications network. In an embodiment, a document containing data related to one or more of the network elements is received. The document is associated with a corresponding source provider, a location, a receipt timestamp indicating the time and date that the data was received, and a creation timestamp indicating the time and date that the data was created. A document class is then detected for the received document, and an intermediate representation of the document is generated that includes a plurality of key-value pairs. The intermediate representation is parsed to identify relevant values that correlate to a network model that includes a plurality of network entities representing types of network elements in the telecommunications network. Finally, the identified values are normalized according to the network model and written to a networking database.

Abstract: Networking equipment often generates alarms that operators must sift through to troubleshoot the network. The heterogeneous nature of the equipment and their associated alarms renders this task difficult. Furthermore, a network fault may trigger collateral alarms in adjacent equipment, sometimes obscuring the root cause of the fault. The present disclosure includes a system for correlating multiple successive alarms to discriminate between alarms from a faulty network object and alarms from a properly functioning network object that is dependent on the faulty network object.
