In order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the topology inference algorithm for unicast network
an efficient and adaptive topology inference algorithm is proposed.With the information of TTL hop count
this algorithm reduces the number of the probe pairs needed in the process of bisection Depth-First Search Ordering
and improve the efficiency of the topology inference.On the other hand
through the analysis of the principle of the Depth-First Search topology inference algorithm
a sufficient condition for the algorithm to return the correct network topology is given.Based on this condition
an adapt threshold selection method is proposed
it can improve the accuracy of the topology inference when the network link parameters are unknown.Simulation results show this algorithm can obtain a higher accuracy and efficiency.
