Abstract:
A network is partitioned into a set of independent partitions, and the topology of each partition is determined, then merged to form a topology of the entire network. Preferably, the partitioning is hierarchical, wherein the network is partitioned to form individual VLAN partitions, and each of the VLAN partitions is further partitioned based on the nodes that are simply connected to each port of one or more selected root switches within the VLAN partition. Simple connections to each port are efficiently determined based on an aggregate address forwarding table associated with each node. Ancillary information, such as spanning tree or CDP data, may be used to facilitate efficient partitioning and/or to validate inferences that are made with incomplete information.

Abstract:
A representation of static and dynamic nested kits in an existing e-commerce ordering system to facilitate migration of existing e-commerce systems to support nested kits. Physical components of a nested kit remain in an order item table of a database, but non-physical components are placed in a separate database table, and the in-memory representation of the nested kit is represented as a hash-map of nodes, where each node is aware of its parent and child relationship.
