NetworkInfo/Discovery ========================== NetworkInfo::Discovery is a toolset for the discovery of network hosts and topology. This module handles discovered hosts. It can save and restore the the known hosts. NetworkInfo::Discovery::Host represents all that we know about a discovered host. NetworkInfo::Discovery::Sniff is a discovery module that sniffs the local segment to discover information about hosts. NetworkInfo::Discovery::Traceroute is a discovery module that maps the hops from the local segment to other know hosts, helping to show us the topology. NetworkInfo::Discovery::Scan is a discovery module that scans ranges of ip addresses for open ports, and to detect new hosts.
