Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes obtaining a stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots each including network configuration information. the method also includes determining that first network configuration information of a first network configuration snapshot of the network from the stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots for the network is not the same as second network configuration information of a second network configuration snapshot of the network from the stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots for the network. the method also includes generating a reachability differentiation graph that identifies a net change to reachability from the first network configuration information and the second network configuration information based on determining that the first network configuration information is not the same as the second network configuration information.
