Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to receive network session information from network monitoring devices distributed throughout an enterprise network. The network session information characterizes communications between a client device within the enterprise network and a server external to the enterprise network. The network session information is transformed into vectors of network communication session parameters. The vectors are combined into different time series of data. A similarity measure is computed between the different time series of data to detect unique sessions between the client device and a middlebox network device within the enterprise network or unique sessions between a middle box network device within the enterprise network and the server. The unique sessions are evaluated to infer relationships between networked devices within the enterprise network.
