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...
