Abstract
A method for detecting unmanaged nodes within a system is described. A flow of data associated with a node is detected, wherein a managed node detects the flow of data. Information relating to the node is discovered. A determination is made whether the node has been previously discovered. The identification of the node is recorded to a list if it is determined the node has not been previously discovered. The identification of the node is transmitted to a management device.
