Abstract:
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for analyzing a network. An embodiment operates by a third-party component deriving network data based on a received data packet from a network component configured to perform a network function. The third-party component orders a transaction including second network data from a distributed ledger. The third-party component determines that the first and second network data meet or exceed a condition of a smart contract comprising the condition and an associated network action related to the network function. The third-party component sends the condition of the smart contract and the first and second network data to another third-party component. The third-party component receives a validation that the first and second network data meet or exceed the first condition of the first smart contract and performing the first network action on the network.
