Abstract:
Methods and systems for discovery of a set of nodes in a network. The method comprises selecting a node amongst nodes in a group of nodes to be processed; and instructing to implement a discovery procedure for the selected node. The-procedure comprises broadcasting a neighbor discovery request from a node currently selected on a shared transmission medium of the network; and receiving at the node currently selected replies sent by neighbor nodes on the shared transmission medium and adding the neighbor nodes to the group of nodes to be processed; and repeating the steps of selecting and instructing for other nodes in the group of nodes to be processed, until all nodes of the set are discovered.

Claim (Index 14):
The computer program of  claim 13 , wherein the link probing procedure is implemented for a selected computer node after completion of the discovery procedure for at least said selected computer node, and preferably after all computer nodes of the set of computer nodes have been discovered, wherein implementation of the link probing procedure is interlaced with the discovery procedure, such that at least one of the replies received when implementing the discovery procedure for a selected computer node comprises data related to a measure of link quality between the computer node currently selected and a neighbor computer node, and wherein sending said one or more link probing messages is carried out before broadcasting said neighbor discovery request.
