    摘要: Disclosed is a method of identifying service topologies in a network, including determining a group of network devices having a same traffic identifier and indicating each network device of the group as not processed, selecting a first network device that is indicated as not processed in the group, indicating the selected first network device as partially processed, and associating the first network device with a service container identifier, identifying, for each port of the selected first network device, at least another network device in the group indicated as not processed connected to the first network device or a termination point, wherein the identified another network device is identified as partially processed and associated with the service container identifier, repeating step (c) for each identified another network device until only termination points are reached, wherein the identified another network device becomes the first network device in step (c), and when any network devices in the group of network devices remain not processed repeating the steps (b)-(d).
