Abstract:
A generic discovery methodology collects data pertaining to components of a computer network using various discovery technologies. From the collected data, the methodology identifies, filters and analyzes information related to inter-component communications. Using the communication and application information, the methodology determines reliable relationships for those components having sufficient information available. To qualify more components, the methodology implements a decision service to generate hypothetical relationships between components that are known and components that are unqualified or unknown. The hypothetical relationships are presented to a user for selection, and each hypothetical relationship is preferably associated with an indication of its reliability.

Claim (Index 13):
A network discovery system, comprising:\n a communication network; a plurality of components operatively coupled to the communication network, the plurality of components including at least a first component; a computing device having at least one programmable control device and a storage device operatively coupled to the programmable control device, the storage device having stored therein instructions that, when executed by the programmable control device, cause the computing device to:\n intercept data communications occurring between the plurality of components in the communication network, \n identify a subset of the intercepted data communications as important based on communication ports used in the data communications, \n analyze the important data communications to determine a quantity of the important data communications involving the first component, and \n generate a hypothesis that the first component is a server host when the quantity meets a threshold.
