摘要： A computer-implemented method for discovering network topologies. The method may include (1) receiving, on a host system within a network, a switch-protocol message that includes a switch identifier, a port identifier, and/or a root path cost, (2) identifying a set of switches within the network based on the switch-protocol message, (3) determining how the set of switches are connected based on the switch-protocol message, and (4) mapping a topology of the network based on determining how the set of switches are connected. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
