Claim 4:
5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the program, when executed by the at least one processor, further causes the network topology determining apparatus to:
classify a plurality of secondary network elements in a secondary subnet into a plurality of first network element groups based on the connection relationship between the network elements, wherein the secondary network elements are network elements directly connected to the core network elements in the plurality of network elements, and the core network elements are the network elements of the highest network grade in the plurality of network elements;
sequence at least one secondary network element in each first network element group to obtain a second network element queue;
sequence the plurality of first network element groups to obtain a network element group queue;
determine a layout width of each first network element group based on a third total quantity of connected network elements of all secondary network elements in each first network element group;
determine a layout start location of any first network element group based on the layout width of each first network element group and a position of the any first network element group in the network element group queue; and
determine location information of each secondary network element based on the layout width, the layout start location, a total group quantity of the plurality of first network element groups, the second network element queue, the network element group queue, and a total quantity of secondary network elements in each first network element group.
