Abstract
A method for the automatic layout of switched networks of switched network topologies. In representative embodiments, a topological map of a network is automatically obtained by combining various segments into one of three segment types, a bus segment, a serial segment, and a star segment. In the creation of the topological map of the network, the methods can be used to update the network map as changes occur.
