Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for validating operation of a centrally managed network. A central controller is configured to manage a network, and an emulator configured to emulate one or more nodes in the network is connected to the central controller. The emulator determines a state value for one or more nodes in the network, and the state value represents whether the respective node is in error. The emulator receives a first plurality of policies including instructions for the nodes in the network, and whether the policies are consistent with one another is identified.
