  • Patent number: 11233742
    Abstract: One or more lower-level attributes of a first network policy are translated to one or more higher-level attributes of the first network policy, and one or more lower-level attributes of a second network policy are translated to one or more higher-level attributes of the second network policy. The first network policy controls how first network traffic is handled, and the second network policy controls how second network traffic is handled. The one or more higher-level attributes of the first network policy are compared with the one or more higher-level attributes of the second network policy. Based on the comparing, it is determined whether the first network traffic and the second network traffic are handled in a functionally equivalent manner. If not, the first network policy is dynamically updated to generate an updated first network policy that causes the first network traffic to be handled in the functionally equivalent manner.
