Abstract: In one example, a management node may include a storage device to store network device information associated with a plurality of network devices and physical hosts in a datacenter. Example network device information may include at least one of routing information and media access control (MAC) address information. Further, the management node may include a processor operable with the storage device and memory coupled to the processor. In one example, the memory may include a network topology generation unit to determine adjacency between the plurality of network devices in the datacenter using the routing information and/or media access control (MAC) address information associated with the plurality of network devices and generate a network topology including a network path between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint using the adjacency between the plurality of network devices.
