Abstract
A method for providing an automatically enhanced model of one or more networks, the method may include (a) determining missing next hop points; (b) finding multiple linkable pairs of relevant network elements interfaces, wherein a relevant network element interface is associated with one of the missing next hop points; and virtually linking relevant first network element interfaces of the multiple linkable pairs and the relevant second network element interfaces of the multiple linkable pairs to provide the automatic enhanced model of the one or more network. The virtually linking may include virtually adding one or more artificial network elements between the relevant first network element interfaces of the multiple linkable pairs and the relevant second network elements interfaces of the multiple linkable pairs.
