Abstract
A system for automatically discovering fabric topology includes at least one or more processing units, one or more memory devices, a security processor, and a communication fabric with an unknown topology coupled to the processing unit(s), memory device(s), and security processor. The security processor queries each component of the fabric to retrieve various attributes associated with the component. The security processor utilizes the retrieved attributes to create a network graph of the topology of the components within the fabric. The security processor generates routing tables from the network graph and programs the routing tables into the fabric components. Then, the fabric components utilize the routing tables to determine how to route incoming packets.
