ABSTRACT:
A method for discovering network devices having special IP addresses may include collecting a plurality of IP addresses, where each IP address corresponds to a network device. One or more IP addresses may be identified as a predetermined IP address and/or a predetermined address type. Each of the IP addresses may then be classified according to various IP address types. A network address topology may be built based on the IP addresses, the network devices, and the IP address types. Finally, a special network topology may be built that includes network devices having IP addresses identified as the predetermined IP address and/or the predetermined IP address type.
