Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Quantifying and querying network reachability is important for security monitoring and auditing as ll as many aspects of network management such as troubleshooting, maintenance, and design. Although attempts to model network reachability have been made, feasible solutions to computing network reachability have remained unknown. ,  propose a suite of algorithms for quantifying reachability based on network configurations [mainly Access Control Lists (ACLs)] as ll as solutions for querying network reachability.  present a network reachability model that considers connectionless and connection-oriented transport protocols, stateless and stateful routers/ firewalls, static and dynamic NAT, PAT, IP tunneling, etc.  implemented the algorithms in our network reachability tool called Quarnet and conducted experiments on a university network. Experimental results show that the offline computation of reachability matrices takes a few hours, and the online processing of a reachability query takes 0.075 s on average.
