A high performance distributed discovery system, leveraging the functionality of a high speed communications network, for the discovery of the network topology of a high speed data network. The system comprises a plurality of discovery engines on at least one, and preferably a plurality of data collection node computers that poll and register managed network objects with the resulting distributed record compilation forming a distributed network topology database that is selectively accessed by at least one performance monitoring server computer to provide for network management. A plurality of discovery engine instances are located on the data collection node computers on ratio of one engine instance to one central processing unit so as to provide for the parallel processing of the distributed network topology database.
