Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products to generate a network topology. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses may be collected that immediately precede a first IP address in a set of IP-address-sequences to obtain a first set of previous-hop IP addresses, where each IP-address-sequence in the set of IP-address-sequences comprises a sequence of IP addresses traversed by at least one packet. Next, each IP address in the first set of previous-hop IP addresses may be associated with a first logical node in the network topology.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products for inferring node and link information from traceroute data in order to generate topology information. A system receives traceroute data for a data packet that traverses a path from a source to a destination. The system infers port types for the addresses in the traceroute data and groups subsets of the addresses in the traceroute data into logical nodes based on neighbor relationships demonstrated in backward and forward neighbors sets. The system then generates node and link information based on the inferred and grouped information.
