Abstract: A network management system for orchestrating a network is provided. During operation, the system generates a graph representing the network. A respective vertex corresponds to an entity in the network, and a respective edge indicates a relationship between a vertex pair. The system can determine a first and a second timestamps for a respective edge. The first timestamp indicates a time instance when a relationship indicated by the edge is established. The second timestamp indicates a time instance when the relationship is terminated. The time range between the first and second timestamps indicates an active period for the edge. The system then receives, from an interface of the system, an instruction for comparing the topology, states, and configuration of the network. The system determines the topology, states, and configurations of the network at a target time instance indicated by the instruction by traversing the active edges of the graph.
