Network Topology Measurements Research Based on Campus Networks

Abstract

Abstract.With the constant expansion of campus networks, their architectures have become more and more complicated. Thus, effective network management has become critical for normal operations of networks. It is of great theoretical and realistic research significance for effectively measuring network topology according to demands for managing campus networks. In this paper, a prototype testing system is designed for topology measurements with FDB-based algorithms for measuring link layer topology. With functions for measuring topology and displaying topological graphs, this system is demonstrated to be effective for implementing these two functions under experimental conditions.
