Abstract
A method of creating micro-segmentation policies for a network is provided. The method identifies a set of network nodes as seed nodes. The method monitors network packet traffic flows for the seed nodes to collect traffic flow information. The method identifies a set of related nodes for the set of seed nodes based on the collected network flow information. The method analyzes the collected network flow information to identify micro-segmentation policies for the network.
