Abstract:
This document describes use cases for gathering routing, forwarding
and policy information, (hereafter referred to as topology
information), about the network. It describes several applications
that need to view the topology of the underlying physical or logical
network. This document further demonstrates a need for a "Topology
Manager" and related functions that collects topology data from
network elements and other data sources, coalesces the collected data
into a coherent view of the overall network topology, and normalizes
the network topology view for use by clients -- namely, applications
that consume topology information.
