First Claim
1. A computerized method for determining a telecommunication network service topology of a telecommunication network related to at least a user device via an automated topology detection system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one electronic processor of an electronic server communicatively coupled to the telecommunication network, a data record of a service provided over the telecommunication network to at least one user device, the data record comprising one of a call data record (CDR) and an internet protocol data record (IPDR), the data record including a network element identifier and an identifier of the at least one user device;
detecting, by the at least one electronic processor from the data record, a network element of the telecommunication network associated with the network element identifier, the network element having supplied the service to the at least one user device;
determining, by the at least one electronic processor, a secondary data service delivered over the service;
determining, by the at least one electronic processor based on the detection, a telecommunication network service topology based on the at least one user device, the telecommunication network service topology comprising;
the at least one user device; and
the network element, wherein the network element is any of a physical element of the telecommunication network, a logical element of the telecommunication network, or a combination thereof;
receiving, by the at least one electronic processor through the telecommunication network, at least one failure notification; and
determining, by the at least one electronic processor based on the telecommunication network service topology and the at least one failure notification, a determined impact on the service and the secondary data service;
wherein the at least one failure notification comprises a simulated notification.

Abstract
A computerized method, system, and computer program product thereof determines a service topology of a telecommunication network respective of one or more user devices. Information related to a service, provided to the user device over a telecommunication network, is received. The service may be providing connectivity required for a voice call, a data session, short message service (SMS) or the like. Information related to at least a network element of the telecommunication network is collected, the network element having supplied the service. A telecommunication network topology for the service is determined related to the information. A failure notification is received through the telecommunication network. An impact on the service is determined, related to the telecommunication network topology and the failure notification. The impact may be full or partial loss of service. A service notification may be sent related to the determined impact, for example to a fault management system.
