Abstract

Most of today's network topology discovery algorithms discover network topology in a best effort fashion. To facilitate distributed network topology discovery in case of multiple network management systems used for distributed management of large corporate networks, this paper introduces boundary awareness in network topology discovery and presents three practical heuristic boundary rules to help determine the boundary of the network to be managed. Implementations of these boundary rules are also presented.
