Techniques are described for resolving network connectivity. According to an exemplary embodiment, a determination is made whether a first device is included in a portion of a network in which the first device can receive information directed to all devices included within the portion of the network. A first identifier associated with the portion of the network is obtained. A second identifier is assigned to the portion of the network unique to other portions of the network. The first identifier associated with the portion of the network is modified to include the second identifier. The modified first identifier is associated with the first device and the portion of the network. A first symbol identifying the first device can be presented as being connected to a second symbol identifying the portion of the network using the modified first identifier.

Techniques for resolving network connectivity

Network topology data or data indicating a topology of a network, is analyzed and refined by merging portions of the data and removing false data from the network topology data. For example, network topology data is processed by evaluating interface data, deleting erroneous data from the network topology data based on the evaluating, and merging data in the network topology data based on the evaluating.
