TOPOLOGY GENERATOR PRINCIPLE Using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and forwarding table information in devices, D-View creates a topology for a specific network. The following steps describe the principle behind the Topology Generator: 1. Discovers the devices by getting the ARP information in devices, and identifies the relationship among devices by their MAC or IP address. 2. Identifies the device type. 3. Retrieves the forwarding table information in switches to obtain the relationship among switch ports and MAC address of the devices. 4. Creates a Topology. The generated Topology can be incorrect if the switches' forwarding table information is incorrect or incomplete. The Topology created by Topology Generator can be considered as a reference in completing the actual topology map.
