A Link Layer Automatic Topology Discovery Algorithm

摘要

After analyzing the importance and current status of a link layer topology discovery, it is discussed that the theory, model and principle of topology discovery technology are based on Bridge MIB' AFT. In this paper a general algorithm of a link layer topology discovery based on AFT is presented, its pseudo code along with the detailed description is given out also. At last a conclusion of a link layer topology discovery algorithm is summarized.
