Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive a first IP address using a type of a discovery process for discovery of network configuration information. The processor may determine whether the first IP address is a private IP address or a public IP address. The processor may determine a second attribute of the first IP address, which may include information on a routing domain for the first IP address based on the type of the discovery process used for discovery of the network configuration information. The processor may merge the first IP address with a second IP address based on the second attribute of the first IP address, in which the second IP address may be replaced with the first IP address.
