Device identification and reconfiguration in a network

1. A method comprising:

detecting a set of domain name system (DNS) requests from a device in an Internet of Things (IoT) network;

identifying a set of identification information associated with the set of DNS requests;

predicting, based on the set of identification information, a device type of the device, the predicting comprising:

converting the DNS requests over a time period to a document;

generating a vector from the document; and

comparing the vector with a set of vectors, wherein each vector in the set of vectors is generated from a different device type;

determining, in response to predicting the device type, a network configuration setting for the device type; and

reconfiguring, in response to determining a network configuration setting, a network configuration of the device.

comparing the set of DNS requests with a second set of DNS requests.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

filtering the set of DNS requests to produce a subset of the set of DNS requests.

monitoring a frequency of a subset of the set of DNS requests.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the set of identification information further comprises:

associating a domain name with at least one DNS request of the set of DNS requests.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

weighting, using a weighting rule, a subset of the set of DNS requests.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguring further comprises:

removing the device from the IoT network.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguring further comprises:

modifying a set of access rules for the device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguring further comprises:

redirecting network traffic from the device.

10.

program instructions to compare the vector with a set of vectors, wherein each vector in the set of vectors is generated from a different device type;

program instructions to determine, in response to predicting the device type, a network configuration setting for the device type; and

program instructions to reconfigure, in response to determining a network configuration setting, a network configuration of the device.

12. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions to predict the device type of the device further comprise:

program instructions to compare the set of DNS requests with a second set of DNS requests.

13. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

filtering the set of DNS requests to produce a subset of the set of DNS requests.

14. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

monitoring a frequency of a subset of the set of DNS requests.

15. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , the program instructions to identify the set of identification information further comprising:

program instructions to associate a domain name with at least one DNS request of the set of DNS requests.

16. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to reconfigure further comprising:

program instructions to remove the device from the IoT network.

17. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

weighting, using a weighting rule, a subset of the set of DNS requests.

18. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code is stored in the computer readable storage medium in a data processing system, and wherein the computer usable code is transferred over a network from a remote data processing system.

19. The computer usable program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code is stored in the computer readable storage medium in a server data processing system, and wherein the computer usable code is downloaded over a network to a remote data processing system for use in a computer readable storage device associated with the remote data processing system.
