Determining network paths

摘要

In an embodiment of a method of tracing a path through a switch mesh from a first device connected to the switch mesh to a second device connected to the switch mesh, hardware addresses of the first and second devices are obtained. At least one switch that is a neighbor to the first device is identified. At least one switch that is a neighbor to the first device is queried to identify at least one port of at least one switch that is forwarding packets having the hardware addresses of the first and second devices.
