Abstract
Methods and systems for discovery of a set of nodes in a network. The method comprises selecting a node amongst nodes in a group of nodes to be processed; and instructing to implement a discovery procedure for the selected node. The procedure comprises broadcasting a neighbor discovery request from a node currently selected on a shared transmission medium of the network; and receiving at the node currently selected replies sent by neighbor nodes on the shared transmission medium and adding the neighbor nodes to the group of nodes to be processed; and repeating the steps of selecting and instructing for other nodes in the group of nodes to be processed, until all nodes of the set are discovered.
