Abstract
Network discovery is performed to detect routers and to collect discovery data from them. The discovery data is analyzed to identify zones, i.e., autonomous routing domains and subdomain areas. Network traffic is monitored at border router ports to obtain zone traffic data. The zone traffic data is analyzed to evaluate per-zone or inter-zone traffic parameters.
Claims15
A process comprising:
- performing discovery on a network to detect and collect discovery data from routers;
- a computer analyzing discovery data to identify zones including autonomous routing domains and subdomain areas;
- monitoring traffic at border router ports to obtain zone traffic data;
- and
- said computer analyzing said zone traffic data to evaluate per-zone or inter-zone traffic parameters.
2 more elements
A network management system comprising:
- a network manager configured to collect discovery data from network nodes including routers;
- a zone modeler configured to analyze said discovery data to identify zones including routing domains and subdomain areas;
- and
- a zone traffic analyzer configured to analyze zone traffic data between said zones to evaluate per-zone or inter-zone traffic parameters.
1 more element
A system comprising computer-readable storage media encoded with code configured to, when executed by a processor:
- perform network discovery so as to detect routers and the routing protocols enabled at each of router's network interface ports;
- and
- analyze results of said network discovery to identify zones, said zones including routing domains and subdomain areas.
