摘要： An improved method for connection exploration in a network is disclosed, wherein said network includes a plurality of network elements each including at least one port, wherein a globally unique identifier is assigned to each individual port of said network elements, and wherein connected ports of two network elements transfer their globally unique identifiers over a corresponding connection using heartbeat-ordered sequences. The method comprises capturing said transferred globally unique identifiers at receiving ports, storing each of said captured globally unique identifiers at a corresponding receiving port, reading out said transferred globally unique identifiers stored at each port of said network elements using an in-band access, matching said read out globally unique identifiers to a hardware configuration data set to identify connected network elements and connections between said connected network elements, and recording information about existing connections between said network elements.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于网络中的连接探索的改进方法，其中所述网络包括多个网络元件，每个网络元件包括至少一个端口，其中将全局唯一标识符分配给所述网络元件的每个单独端口，并且其中连接的两个端口 网络元素使用心跳顺序序列在相应的连接上传送其全局唯一标识符。 该方法包括：在接收端口捕获所述传输的全球唯一标识符，将每个所述捕获的全局唯一标识符存储在相应的接收端口，使用带内接入，匹配来读出存储在所述网络元件的每个端口处的所述传输的全球唯一标识符 将所述全局唯一标识符读出到硬件配置数据集以识别所连接的网络元件之间的连接的网络元件和连接，以及记录关于所述网络元件之间的现有连接的信息。
