Resolution of policy enforcement point by cross correlating other policies

Abstract:

A plurality of policies to be enforced in a network environment via a plurality of devices are determined. A topology of the plurality of devices within the network environment is also determined. For each policy of the plurality of policies, a device of the plurality of devices is selected as the location at which to enforce the policy of the plurality of policies. Selecting the device for each policy of the plurality of policies includes correlating the policy of the plurality of policies with another of the plurality of policies and correlating the policy of the plurality of policies with the topology.
