ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to finding a path between two nodes, including the routing and non-routing nodes of the path. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer implemented method of finding a path between two nodes in a network. Exemplary steps of the method include obtaining information from a routing table of a first node in the path to determine a second node in the path; determining whether any non-routing nodes are in the path between the first and second nodes; and producing a representation of nodes in the path.
