1. A method comprising:
displaying, on a display of a user device of a user, a first level of a topology of a network;
receiving a first input signal from the user device indicating a selection of a first node of a plurality of first nodes of the first level of the topology;
in response to the first input signal, displaying a second level of the topology and a third level of the topology relative to the first node;
receiving a second input signal from the user device indicating a selection of a second node of a plurality of second nodes of the third level of the topology in which the user is interested; and
in response to the second input signal, displaying a fourth level of the topology of the network relative to the first node, wherein displaying the fourth level of the topology of the network comprises displaying (i) within the third level of the topology, only the second node of the plurality of second nodes and (ii) the fourth level of the topology of the network, and wherein the fourth level of the topology comprises a plurality of third nodes coupled to the second node.
