Coordinated and device-distributed detection of abnormal network device operation
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device associated with a local area network, a loss of service provider connectivity at a network device associated with the local area network;
transmitting a query requesting network connectivity status information for one or more other network devices associated with the local area network, wherein the network connectivity status information includes service provider connectivity and local area network connectivity;
receiving the network connectivity status information in response to the query;
analyzing the network connectivity status information, wherein analyzing the network connectivity status information includes;
identifying a pattern in the network connectivity status information indicative of a network deficiency;
orcomparing the network connectivity status information with previous network connectivity status information; and
generating instructions for restoring connectivity between the network device and the service provider based on the analysis.

Abstract
Techniques for coordinated and device-distributed detection of abnormal network device operation are provided. In some embodiments, a method may include identifying a suspicious activity condition associated with a suspect network device. The suspicious activity condition may also be associated with the device itself. Activity of the network device may be detected and analyzed, including additional data corresponding to the activity from one or more other network devices in the same network. In response to determining that the suspicious activity condition is satisfied, an alert communication can be transmitted that identifies the suspect network device. When the activity is associated with the device itself, a local operation at the network device may be changed.
