Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to identifying a topology of a network based on information identifying adjacent devices from each of the devices in the network. In one embodiment, each device identifies one or more adjacent devices within one hop and stores information identifying the one or more adjacent devices. A requesting device aggregates information identifying one or more adjacent devices of each device and identifies the topology of the network based on the aggregated information. By each device storing and transmitting information identifying adjacent devices connected within one hop, amount of information stored in each device and bandwidth of information exchanged can be reduced.
