Abstract:
Discovering nodes of a network is disclosed. A multicast group of the network is sent an Internet Protocol multicast packet that requires a receiver of the packet to provide a response packet. One or more Internet Control Message Protocol replies from one or more nodes that belong to the multicast group are received. A listing of nodes of the network is determined using the one or more received replies.
