Techniques and architecture are described that provide a multi-platform tool focused on displaying various levels of a topology of a network to a user while maintaining an original context of the user that was initially selected. Elements within the topology are dynamically added or removed from the user's view, e.g., the display, as the elements come in and out of focus. For example, in configurations, as the user traverses the topology, e.g., graph, the nodes that are not of interest generally become invisible. Thus, the user receives a clear view of how the selected component changed according to the user's actions and may achieve an easily maintained history of the current hops through the network topology.

Network topology providing a seamless transition between levels

Techniques are described herein for implementing and using a network topology display system configured to display and support interaction with complex and/or multi-site datacenters. The topology display system may provide an interactive user interface, allowing users to navigate to different regions of the network node topology representing the datacenter, and displaying views representing the various sites, levels, and objects of the datacenter. While navigating the topology, a user may select a particular node in the network topology to be pinned, causing the user interface to display data representing the datacenter object corresponding to the selected node. As the user navigates the network topology, additional nodes may be selected to provide additional object data, which may be updated dynamically for a set of pinned nodes configured in different sites or regions of the topology.

Pin and trace in network topologies

In one embodiment, a device obtains temperature and utilization measurements for a set of network interface transceivers in a network. The device computes, for each of the transceivers, a correlation coefficient between its temperature and utilization measurements. The device applies a k-nearest neighbor classifier to the correlation coefficients, to predict a correlation coefficient. The device uses the predicted correlation coefficient to determine an impact of temperature on utilization of a particular network interface transceiver. The device initiates a mitigation action, when the determined impact of temperature on the utilization of the particular network interface transceiver exceeds a predefined threshold.
