Abstract

All of the transit services that each device is expected to provide are determined and contrasted with the transit configuration of each device. Because the transit configuration of each device may be state-dependent, the service items within each application service are processed in sequential order. Sequences of service items are associated with connection groups, and each of the routes associated with each connection group is determined based on the sequential order of the service items. The configuration of each device along each route is processed to determine the services that will be permitted or denied, based on its current configuration. Each desired transit service item is compared to the transit configuration provided by each device to identify any inconsistencies and/or violations.
