6.1.2 BFD
The BFD topology represents a BFD session with verified BFD connectivity between two
endpoints in the network. In the VNE model, the endpoints of the link are the BFD Service
IMOs (BFD Service (IBfdService)), which represent the BFD service running on the router.

IMOs (BFD Service (IBfdService)), which represent the BFD service running on the router.
Link type: BFD

6.1.3 BGP
The BGP topology represents a TCP connection between two BGP entities which facilitate
the “BGP neighborhood” in the network. In the VNE model, the endpoints of the link are
the MPBgp IMOs (Multi Protocol BGP Entity (IMPBgp))which represent the BGP service
running on the router.

6.1.4 Business
The Business topology does not represent any specific link or relationship in the network. It
can represent the relationship between any two objects in the model, which can be
business objects or network objects. These links are created in the Prime Network
gateway.

gateway.
6.1.5 Ethernet
The Ethernet topology represents a link between two Ethernet ports, which are connected
in the network. In the VNE model, the endpoints of the link are Ethernet IMOs (Ethernet
Interface (IEthernet)), which represent the Ethernet ports.
Prime Network conducts a discovery of the Ethernet data link layer topology by using
various types of data. This includes information from, for example, OAM, CDP, LLDP, STP,
and can include MAC learning information. All types of data are collected and, based on
priority, used to verify the adjacency between two ports.
Certain data that is used for discovery might be device specific. For example Inter Chassis
Link and Inter Rack Link information that is available only for specific device type.

Note: Many service providers use L2PT to configure customer access to VLAN ports. This
avoids the need to process Layer 2 protocols such as CDP. In these scenarios,
discovery may create links between ports that are not directly connected, because
the Layer 2 protocol information is tunneled and does not reflect the actual
physical links. This problem can be overcome by configuring static links on these
ports. These static links will override any incorrect dynamically discovered links.
