چکیده
Since the beginning of the nineties, the Internet has undergone impressive growth. This growth can be appreciated in terms of the equipment, such as routers and links, that has been added, as well as in the numbers of users and the value of commerce that it supports. In parallel to this expansion, over the past decade the networking research community has shown a growing interest in discovering and analyzing the internet topology. Some researchers have developed tools for gathering network topology data while others have tried to understand and model the internet’s properties.

Internet Topology Discovery
Capturing an accurate view of the Internet topology is of great interest to the networking research community as it has many uses ranging from the design and evaluation of new protocols to the vulnerability analysis of Internet infrastructure. The scale of the Internet topology coupled with its distributed and heterogeneous nature makes it very challenging to capture a complete and accurate sna...
متن کاملModeling the IPv6 Internet AS-level Topology
To measure the IPv6 internet AS-level topology, a network topology discovery system, called Dolphin, was developed. By comparing the measurement result of Dolphin with that of CAIDA’s Scamper, it was found that the IPv6 Internet at AS level, similar to other complex networks, is also scale-free but the exponent of its degree distribution is 1.2, which is much smaller than that of the IPv4 Inter...
متن کاملTracetree: A Scalable Mechanism to Discover Multicast Tree Topologies in the Network
The successful deployment of multicast in the Internet requires availability of good network management solutions. Discovering multicast tree topology is an important component of this task. Network managers can use topology information as the basis of monitoring and debugging potential multicast forwarding problems. In addition, the collected topology has several other uses. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Automatic Topology Discovery
A topology discovery algorithm for IP networks is proposed in this paper. Topology configuration information can be obtained from various sources including the MIBs in routers and gateways, the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), the traceroute program, the Domain Name System (DNS), and etc. In order to retrieve the MIB information in a router, the IP address of the router has to be known...
متن کاملNetwork Topology Generation and Discovery Tools: a Review of Recent Developments
Achieving a deep understanding of the Internet topology has proved very challenging since it involves solving difficult task, e.g. mapping the actual topology, characterising it and developing generation models that capture the fundamental properties. There are two categories of tools which were developed to deal with network topology, namely, topology generations tools and network/topology dis...
