Abstract
A computer system automatically tests a network communication model by predicting whether particular traffic (whether actual or simulated) should be allowed on the network, and then estimating the accuracy of the network communication model based on the prediction. Such an estimate may be generated even before the model has been applied to traffic on the network. For example, the model may be generated based on a first set of network traffic. The accuracy of the model may then be estimated based on a second set of network traffic. This allows the accuracy of the model to be estimated without first waiting to apply the model to actual network traffic, thereby reducing the risk associated with applying the model before its accuracy is known.
