Abstract
A method, an apparatus and computer readable storage media facilitate obtaining of a current network topology within a network by requesting this topology from any node within the network, where the topology can be provided in any manner that is suitable to the requester. In an example embodiment, a connection is established between a computing device and a network including a plurality of nodes, each node connected with at least one other neighboring node within the network, each node further including a network element configured to receive and transmit data to and from other nodes. A request is sent for current network topology information from the computing device to any selected node within the network, where the selected node has current network topology information. A graphical image of the current network topology is provided at the computing device that is based upon the current network topology information.
