Abstract:
One embodiment is a method that transmits a packet having a bit field with a Time-to-live (TTL) value from a requesting node to a plurality of receiving nodes. The TTL value is decreased at each of the receiving nodes, and the packet is sent back to the requesting node that compares a value in the bit field with the TTL value to determine a topology of the receiving nodes connected to the requesting node.
