  • Techniques for determining device connectivity in a network using protocol-specific connectivity information
    Publication number: 20040215781
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining device connectivity in a network using protocol-specific connectivity information. According to an exemplary embodiment, an address forwarding database (FDB) is collected from the network. Protocol-specific connectivity information and interface information are collected from a device in the network. The protocol-specific connectivity information and interface information are translated into an interface connectivity database. Device connectivity in the network is determined based on the interface connectivity database in cooperation with the FDB.
