Context & challenge
Opening or tightening connectivity between two endpoints usually means manually tracing routes, guessing intermediate devices, then editing policies on multiple firewalls. Unclear paths, opaque traffic, and scattered rules lead to misses and misconfigs — and little time to validate inside a change window.
What we did
After the user enters source and destination IPs, the system computes an end-to-end traffic path from routing data, identifies key hops and traffic characteristics along that path, then generates and deploys firewall policies on the relevant devices. Path reports and dry-runs run before live push; steps stay auditable and replayable.
Outcome
Policy changes moved from hand-chasing routes to path-driven policy orchestration: paths are visible, traffic along the path is analyzable, and firewall rules can land automatically — with clearer risk control and a steadier delivery cadence.
