Method of Router's Alias Recognition Based on IP Address Assignment Practice
Yang Xia · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2009
Router's alias recognition is an important step in generating router level topology.Existing tools for alias recognition use an active probing approach,they induce traffic overhead into the network and depend on the response of the routers.Aiming at this problem,this paper proposes a novel approach called ABR.The method utilizes the common IP address assignment scheme to infer router's alias from the path traces collected by traceroute tool.Experimental results show that the new method significantly improves the precision and efficiency compared to existing approaches.
