ABSTRACT:
Network topology data or data indicating a topology of a network, is analyzed and refined by merging portions of the data and removing false data from the network topology data. For example, network topology data is processed by evaluating interface data, deleting erroneous data from the network topology data based on the evaluating, and merging data in the network topology data based on the evaluating.
