ABSTRACT:
A method of determining network topologies comprising monitoring traffic received by devices connected in the network and traffic emitted out of the devices, correlating traffic out of the devices with traffic into the devices, indicating a network communication path between a pair of the devices in the event that the correlation of traffic out of one of the pair of the devices and into another of the pair of the devices is in excess of a predetermined threshold.
