A.1. Fetching Topology from a Network Element A.1. Fetching Topology from a Network Element
In its simplest form, topology is learned by a network element (e.g., In its simplest form, topology is learned by a network element (e.g.,
a router) through its participation in peering protocols (IS-IS, BGP, a router) through its participation in peering protocols (IS-IS, BGP,
etc.). This learned topology can then be exported (e.g., to a etc.). This learned topology can then be exported (e.g., to a

In this scenario, the SDN Controller maintains a consolidated data In this scenario, the SDN Controller maintains a consolidated data
model of multiple layers of topology. This includes the lower layers model of multiple layers of topology. This includes the lower layers
of the network topology, built from information that is discovered of the network topology, built from information that is discovered
from the network. It also includes upper layers of topology overlay, from the network. It also includes upper layers of topology overlay,
configurable by the controller's client, i.e., the OSS. To the OSS, configurable by the controller's client, i.e., the OSS. To the OSS,
the lower topology layers constitute "read-only" information. The the lower topology layers constitute "read-only" information. The
