1. A method for storing information associated with a network, the method comprising:
- receiving and storing first network information at a first time;
monitoring protocol update information communicated between nodes of the network,detecting a network event at a second time based on the protocol update information;
receiving and storing second network information based on the event;
determining one or more virtual private network services that are affected by the event based on the first network information and the second network information; and
displaying an indication of the one or more virtual private network services that are affected by the event, and at least one of;
performance information and topology information based on at least one of the first network information and the second information.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for managing services on a network. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving topologically relevant network information concerning nodes, interfaces, connections and/or protocols; resolving conflicts in the received information; determining and storing a network topology from the received and resolved information; and inferring one or more services based on the stored topology.
