Network DNA
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having thereon computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising:
- acquiring at least one raw network DNA component, each raw network DNA component corresponding to an attribute of a computer network;
generating at least one derived network DNA component according to at least one derived network DNA component specification, at least one of said at least one derived network DNA component specification referencing at least one of said at least one raw network DNA component; and
determining a network DNA for the computer network, the network DNA taxonomically classifying the computer network, and the network DNA comprising at least one of said at least one derived network DNA component.

Abstract
Network DNA may be determined for a computer network that taxonomically classifies the computer network. Network DNA may include derived network DNA components and raw network DNA components. Raw network DNA components may be acquired from local or remote sources. Derived network DNA components may be generated according to derived network DNA component specifications. Derived network DNA component specifications may reference raw network DNA components. Network DNA determined for the computer network may include a network species component capable of indicating network species classifications for computer networks. Network species classifications may include enterprise network, home network and public place network. Network species classifications may be determined as a function of network security, network management and network addressing. One or more network DNA stores may be configured to store network DNA for computer networks. Network DNA stores may store network DNA history as well as current network DNA.
