Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for emulating the operations of a computer network. In some cases, a method includes receiving first configuration data associated with a first device and second configuration data associated with a second device in a network; determining a first device representation associated with the first device based on the first configuration data and a second device representation associated with the second device based on the second configuration data; determining, based on the first and the second device representations, a first device cluster, wherein the first device cluster comprises a plurality of clustered devices comprising the first device and the second device; determining a first device model associated with the first device cluster, wherein the first device model represents a first device behavior that is common across the plurality of clustered devices; and generating, based on the first device model, an emulation environment associated with the network.
