Abstract:
This document describes use cases for gathering routing, forwarding
and policy information, (hereafter referred to as topology
information), about the network and reflecting changes to the
topology back into the network and related systems. It describes
several applications that need to view or change 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 or want to
change topology information.
