Abstract
Example implementations disclosed herein can be used to generate composite network policy graphs based on multiple network policy graphs input by network users that may have different goals for the network. The resulting composite network policy graph can be used to program a network so that it meets the requirements necessary to achieve the goals of at least some of the network users. In one example implementation, a method can include receiving multiple network policy graphs, generating composite endpoint groups based on relationships between endpoint groups and policy graph sources, generating composite paths based on the relationships between the endpoints and the network policy graphs, generating a composite network policy graph based on the composite endpoint groups and the composite paths, and analyzing the composite network policy graph to determine conflicts or errors.
