Abstract
A network analysis tool is provided in support of a data communication network having user devices at indeterminate endpoints wherein user identities, namely, the collection of meta-data about a user device of a network (beyond the conventional networking concept of an endpoint address), is modeled as fixed endpoints for purposes of tracking. More specifically, users at indeterminate endpoints are identified by modeling using user roles as models of the user devices.
