Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-readable storage media are provided for detecting and simulating issues in a network.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving network traffic data;
- identifying event sequences within the network traffic data;
- generating definition groups by performing clustering on the identified event sequences, the definition groups comprising event sequence characteristics associated with one or more network issues;
- first simulating the identified event sequences in an issue simulation engine to simulate the one or more of the event sequences;
- generating, based on results of the first simulating, a first issue identification by an assurance platform;
- second simulating a most recent one of the identified event sequences;
- generating, based on results of the second simulating and the generated definition groups, a second issue identification;
- and
- validating the first issue identification with the second issue identification.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions to:
- receive network traffic data;
- identify event sequences within the network traffic data;
- first simulate the identified event sequences;
- generate, based on the results of the first simulate, definition groups by performing clustering on the identified event sequences, the definition groups comprising event sequence characteristics associated with one or more network issues;
- second simulate a most recent one of the identified event sequences in an issue simulation engine to simulate the one or more of the event sequences and generating a first issue identification by an assurance platform;
- generate, based on the results of the second simulate and the generated definition groups, a second issue identification based on the definition groups and the one or more of the event sequences;
- and
- validate the first issue identification with the second issue identification.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive network traffic data;
- identify event sequences within the network traffic data;
- first simulate the identified event sequences;
- generate, based on the results of the first simulate, definition groups by performing clustering on the identified event sequences, the definition groups comprising event sequence characteristics associated with one or more network issues;
- second simulating a most recent one of the identified event sequences in an issue simulation engine to simulate the one or more of the event sequences and generating a first issue identification by an assurance platform;
- generate, based on the results of the second simulate and the generated definition groups, a second issue identification based on the definition groups and the one or more of the event sequences;
- and
- validate the first issue identification with the second issue identification.
