Abstract
A method, a computer-readable medium, and a device for dynamically identifying criticality of services and data sources. The computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a programmable device to: determine, based on a plurality of service-related metrics from a network node, upstream network nodes and downstream network nodes in a network; query the upstream network nodes and the downstream network nodes with a multicast request for an additional plurality of service-related metrics; extrapolate a current network topology based on the plurality of service-related metrics and the additional plurality of service-related metrics; determine whether or not an upstream backup server is present for the network node; determine a set of critical service delivery points in the network based on the determination of the upstream backup server; and generate a network service alert responsive to a service interruption from the set of critical service delivery points.
