Abstract
A network configuration is processed to identify each policy and the criteria associated with each policy. The criteria of the policies are processed to identify a non-overlapping set of ranges of the criteria parameter, each range being associated with a particular policy or set of policies. In a preferred embodiment, the criteria include the protocol, the source and destination IP addresses, and the source and destination ports, and a default range is defined for each criteria parameter.
