Identifying Link Layer Home Network Topologies Using HTIP

摘要: In this article, we propose a method to identify the link layer home network topology, motivated by applications cost reduction of support centers. If topology networks can be identified automatically and efficiently, it is easier for operators centers fault points. We use MAC address forwarding tables (AFTs) which collected from devices via HTIP (ITU-T G.9973, Home Topology Identifying Protocol). There are couple existing methods identifying using AFTs, but they insufficient our purpose; not applicable some specific topologies that typical in networks. Our proposed paper handle such topologies. Furthermore, faster because, detecting leaf node at each round, result set inclusion operations, while only needs check sizes sets, much less costly. also give experimental evaluations show advantages method.
