Abstract
In large networks, configuration changes made to the network may have effects the extent of which is not easily foreseen before the configuration change is implemented. For example, the deployment of a new filter to the routers of a network may have the effect of disconnecting a larger portion of the network than was expected, and the recognition and correcting of such unintended effects may occur after a sufficient delay that users of the network may be inconvenienced. As such, a system and method for predicting outcomes of network configuration changes are provided.
