Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for identifying network architecture in a datacenter. The method identifies connection information for multiple network elements. The connection information for each network element specifies other network elements to which the network element connects. The method assigns a set of the network elements to a set of two or more layers based on the connection information for the network element. The method uses the connection information to identify at least one group of network elements organized into a particular network architecture. The identified groups are for use in displaying user interface visualizations of the network elements of the datacenter.
