Abstract

Systems and methods, inter alia, verify traffic flow consistency and audit compliance and adherence to routing protocols employed for carrying data over a computer network. To this end, the systems and methods include, in certain embodiments, devices and methods that monitor data flow across a network and select a data packet moving across the network. The devices and methods observe the route of the data packet as it travels across the network and determine from the observed route whether the data packet traversed the network according to an expected route. Deviations from the expected route are flagged and optionally corrective action is taken to remove from the network a device that is failing to comply with the routing protocol.
