Abstract
A network analysis module may obtain information including but not limited to network traffic and topology information for a network environment including multiple separate networks and physical connections between the networks. The module generates a network topology model including but not limited to extreme-case failure or break information according to the network topology information, and applies the historical network traffic information to the network topology model to predict future expected normal traffic load and extreme-case traffic load for each route over the physical connections between the networks. Output may include one or more reports for each route, each report indicating the historical and predicted traffic levels for both normal and extreme-case scenarios of a respective route.
