Abstract
A capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system is presented. The capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system may support use of topology abstraction policies to control abstraction of topology information of a topology (e.g., a network topology of a communication network or any other suitable type of topology). The capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system providing an abstract representation of a topology may support use of topology abstraction policies to control selection (or acceptance) of topology elements for inclusion within the abstract representation of a topology and filtering (or rejection) of topology elements from being included within the abstract representation of a topology. The capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system providing an abstract representation of a topology may support use of topology abstraction policies to control clustering of topology elements selected for inclusion within the abstract representation of the topology.
