Abstract
Mechanisms for inferred discovery of a data communication device connected to a router, unreachable by a management module, and characterized by a device address are disclosed. The mechanisms include querying, by the management module, the router for connection data and identifying, by the management module in dependence upon the connection data, the device address.
