| 摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a network management agent, device, module or computer program product for determining the network topology of a communication network (1) based on at least one neighbor network or end device identity (20, 21, 30, 40) and corresponding network link (11, 12, 13, 14) communication delay collected from, determined by, and stored in a Management Information Base of, at least one first network device (10) of the communication network. Neighbor identities and communication delays are preferably determined by reverting to the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol.</p> |
