Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
capturing data traversing a network from at least one source node to at least one destination node;
determining that the captured data corresponds to a pattern, wherein the pattern is associated with expected behavior of one or more nodes of a plurality of nodes;
selecting at least one node of the plurality of nodes for generating second data corresponding to the pattern, wherein the selected node is not the at least one source node or the at least one destination node;
causing the at least one selected node of the plurality of nodes to generate the second data corresponding to the pattern, wherein the second data is associated with actual behavior of the at least one selected node;
comparing the actual behavior with the expected behavior; and
when the actual behavior does not correspond to the expected behavior, generating an alert that the at least one selected node of the plurality of nodes is non-conforming.
