Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes determining when a predetermined period of time has elapsed, and determining whether at least a first message has been obtained on a first port of a node during the predetermined period of time when it is determined that the predetermined period of time has elapsed. The method also includes identifying the first port as being connected to a single-homed site when it is determined that the at least first message has not been obtained on the first port during the predetermined period of time. The first port is identified as being connected to a multi-homed network, a multi-homed device, or a hierarchical Ethernet segment when it is determined that the at least first message has been obtained on the first port during the predetermined period of time.
