Abstract

A method includes monitoring a plurality of network devices to collect network performance data comprising data flow records of each device on the network and to create a network topology database, accessing the network topology database comprising information on an entry and exit point of each device, the manner in which the devices are connected and a plurality of data flow records on a single data flow from multiple devices on the network and utilizing the network topology database to perform an asymmetric detection algorithm to identify one or more data flows that exited a device via a first path and returned to the device via a different second path.
