The Discovery of Enterprise Network Topology Created in a Virtual Environment with SNMPv3

To design network management systems in a best way, network topology have to be discovered with every features of network such as connectivity, device type, etc. Our goal is to discover an enterprise network which is created in a virtual environment (GNS3 and VMWARE Workstation) with SNMPv3. An algorithm which is used in previously academic researchs is redesigned according to features of virtual environments which are used in project
