A method of identifying an egress port of a focus device, the method being implemented at a monitor computer and comprising: generating a query message to the focus device including an address identifying the device and a query key formulated based on a destination identifier, and including an instruction readable at the device to return the result message including identification of an egress port for messages addressed to the destination identified in the destination identifier; receiving a result message at the monitor computer; reading the result message, and where the result message does not identify an egress port autonomously generating a subsequent query message; including at least one of (i) a different address for a different device connected in the computer network, and (ii) a different query key, wherein sufficient query messages are generated to identify the egress port of the focus device. |
