Abstract

A network topology analysis and validation system and technique are provided. In some implementations, the system may obtain information in real-time mode or as an off-line data set. The information being representative of a defined network topology type for a computer network and communication connections for devices within the computer network. The computer network analysis may be performed on a subnet of a larger network. A communication topology of the computer network may be compared with the expected (defined) network topology using bipartite and bi-colorization techniques to classify nodes of the computer network. After classification, anomalous communication connections (not in conformance with a standard for the defined network topology) may be identified and colored for presentation to a system administrator. Anomalous communication connections may initiate an alert, event, or alarm, via a system administration monitoring system for real-time notification.
