Abstract

A system and method is disclosed for a scalable and robust network troubleshooting framework for VPN backbones addressing scalability and data imperfection. The framework takes advantage of lattice data structures to identify multi-dimensional hierarchical events that occur frequently across multiple data sources. Correlation schemes and inference rules are created for diagnosing network events and generating actionable reports for important events.
