A hybrid topology discovery protocol for mobile backhaul

In this paper, we propose a hybrid topology discovery protocol for mobile backhaul. As a distributed neighbor discovery protocol, we use IEEE 802.1AB LLDP protocol. For collecting the neighbor information and topology construction, we utilize a centralized control and management control protocol as an extension of PCEP protocol (RFC 5440). We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed protocol on an emulated test-bed.
