基于Cisco发现协议的网络拓扑发现系统设计与实现

Design and Implementation of Network Topology Discovering System Based on Cisco Discovery Protocol

网络拓扑发现是网络管理的关键,利用Cisco发现协议能够发现直联网络设备的特性,设计并实现了网络拓扑发现系统,通过将网络简化为树来深度优先遍历整个网络。将该系统应用到医院医疗网的结果表明,该系统能够高效正确地发现网络拓扑。

Network topology discovery is the key to network management. By taking advantage of Cisco Discovery Protocol that is used to discover other directly connected network equipment, we design and implement a network topology discovering system. This system simplifies network as tree structure and traverse the entire network in depth-first order. Its efficiency and accuracy is verified by the result of applying it to medical network.
