CA 2469169

Network topology information is determined in a network-based communication system by generating communications between, for example, selected pairs of endpoint devices each associated with a network. A given one of the communications is sent from a first one of the endpoint devices to a second one of the endpoint devices and returned from the second endpoint device to the first endpoint device. Information contained in the communication as received at the first endpoint device from the second endpoint device is processed to determine network topology information characterizing at least a portion of the network.

L'invention porte sur une méthode de détermination de la topologie d'un réseau. Les données pertinentes sont recueillies au sein d'un système de communication par réseau informatique en générant des communications, par exemple entre des paires précises de dispositifs terminaux dont chaque élément est associé à un réseau. Un signal déterminé est transmis à partir d'un premier élément, puis renvoyé vers son point d'origine . Les données recueillies sont alors utilisées pour cerner les renseignements propres à définir la topologie du réseau en caractérisant au moins une portion de celui-ci.
