A method and system for tracking entities in a computer network. A method
includes receiving node information related to a node coupled to a
computer network. The method further includes determining whether an
entity associated with the node has been previously identified in the
computer network. If the entity has been previously identified in the
computer network, the node information is linked to an entry for the
entity in the database. If the entity has not been previously identified
in the computer network, a new entry is created in the database, and the
node information is linked to the new entry.
