Vicinage finding method and system for network apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a network device neighbor finding method and system in the communication domain, which is characterized by the following: the network device sends same neighbor finding message to the abutting device and receives the neighbor finding message which is sent by the other neighbor device; the network collects abutting device information and saves and maintains the neighbor information meter; the invention doesn't need to distinctes the role in the network in realizing the neighbor finding course, which is convenience for network topological attention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a neighbor discovery method and system for network equipment. Background technique [0002] In network device management technology, device neighbor discovery (ND) is the basis of network topology management. The network specification of high-performance broadband information network (3Tnet) puts forward the concept of integrated network management, and regards network topology management as an important function of integrated network management. [0003] Device neighbor discovery requires the following functions: [0004] router and prefix discovery; [0005] address resolution; [0006] redirect function; [0007] Neighbor unreachable detection. [0008] In the face of increasingly complex user networks and operator network environments, network topology management requires higher standards for device neighbor discovery methods to have features such a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] Neighbor discovery only collects the physical connection relationship of network devices, and does not collect maintenance information (such as software and hardware specific information) of adjacent devices, which cannot provide a solid technical foundation for integrated network management
