Abstract
A system includes a computing device communicatively connectable with network devices via a network. The computing device has a processor and a storage device storing computer executable code. The code is configured to receive multiple addresses, each network device identifiable by one of the addresses; in response to receiving the addresses, generate at least one long integer pair, each long integer pair including a start long integer and an end long integer corresponding to a range of addresses, and store the at least one long integer pair in a data store; and perform a discovery operation by: retrieving the at least one long integer pair from the data store; for each long integer pair, converting the start and end long integers to a start and end addresses; and performing discovery of the network devices using the addresses between the start and end addresses.
