Abstract

A method and apparatus for representing a network (100) and performing operations on the represented network (100) are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of creating at least one configuration non-specific object class (210 -240) associated with components of the network (100), creating at least one configuration non-specific representation of relationships among associated object classes (220 -240), representing a behavior relationship (figure 4a) among the object classes (210-240) based on the representations of the relationships among the object classes (210-240) and analyzing properties of the network (100) based on the behavior relationships (figure 4a). In aspects of the invention, the represented network may be an MPLS network, a VPN or a combined MPLS-VPN.
