Topology Discovery Using an Address Prefix Based Stopping Rule
Fri, 04/20/2007 - 11:00 by Benoit Donnet
Abstract
Recently, a first step towards a highly distributed IP-level topology discovery tool has been made with the introduction of the Doubletree algorithm. Doubletree is an efficient cooperative algorithm that allows the discovery of a large portion of nodes and links in the network while strongly reducing probing redundancy on nodes and destinations as well as the amount of probes sent. In this paper, we propose to reduce more strongly the load on destinations and, more essentially, the communication cost required for the cooperation by introducing a probing stop rule based on CIDR address prefixes.
