Webtile Network Discovery

Guide to Webtile Network Discovery

1. Introduction: What are Webtiles?

Webtiles are the fundamental building blocks of slippy maps (e.g., Google Maps, Leaflet, OpenStreetMap). A web map is not a single image; it is a grid of 256x256 or 512x512 pixel images (tiles) requested from a server.

• Example: A device with port 9100 open gets a "Printer" tile. A device with port 22 open gets a "SSH/Server" tile.
• Color codes are assigned here (Red = Critical Latency, Green = Operational, Grey = Inactive).

Convert tile x,y,z to lat/lon bounds

def tile_to_latlon(z, x, y): n = 2.0 ** z lon_deg = x / n * 360.0 - 180.0 lat_rad = math.atan(math.sinh(math.pi * (1 - 2 * y / n))) lat_deg = math.degrees(lat_rad) return (lat_deg, lon_deg) Webtile Network Discovery

Phase A: The Sweep (Network Scan)

The discovery engine scans a defined range of IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255) or accepts multicast/broadcast messages. Guide to Webtile Network Discovery 1

Overview

Webtile Network Discovery is a high-performance network mapping and asset detection solution designed to uncover every device, node, and connection within your IT infrastructure. By utilizing advanced scanning protocols and passive monitoring, Webtile transforms complex network data into an intuitive, interactive "tile-based" visualization, giving administrators a clear, real-time view of their digital landscape.

• Webtile Solution: The discovery tool creates a tile for every light bulb. Bulbs are grouped by "Room 4W." The manager sees a 5x5 grid of blue tiles. Suddenly, one tile turns red. He clicks it: "Bulb #42 - Packet loss 80%." He replaces the bulb without a trouble ticket.
