  • Publication number: 20240171525
    Abstract: A method is described that comprises collecting communication data travelling among a plurality of computing nodes in a networked environment. The method includes using the communication data to create a plurality of connectivity records, wherein each connectivity record comprises a communication between a source computing node and a destination computing node of the plurality of computing nodes. The method includes associating the communication with an application context and protocol. The method includes processing the plurality of connectivity records to eliminate connectivity records that meet at least one criteria, wherein the plurality of connectivity records includes associated application contexts and protocols, wherein a first portion of the plurality of connectivity records comprises the eliminated connectivity records, wherein a second portion of the plurality of connectivity records comprises the remainder of the connectivity records.
