Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes: creating a virtualized copy of a mesh network including devices; measuring an unpatched performance metric value for the virtualized copy of each of the devices; applying a first software patch to the virtualized copy of each of the devices; measuring a patched first performance metric value for the virtualized copy of each of the devices; comparing, for each of the devices, the patched performance metric value to the unpatched performance metric value; and preventing the application of the first software patch to a first device of the devices as a result of the comparing.
