Abstract
A method includes obtaining a stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots each including network configuration information. The method also includes determining that first network configuration information is the same as second network configuration information. After determining that the first network configuration information is the same as the second network configuration information, the method includes determining that the second network configuration information is not the same as third network configuration information. The method also includes determining a net change in reachability for a network based on a difference in packet reachability. The method also includes determining a policy violation based on the net change in reachability for the network and generating a reachability differentiation report including the policy violation. The method also includes reverting a configuration of the network to a state corresponding to the first network configuration information and implementing the network using the reverted configuration.
