Abstract: In addressing the scalability and accuracy tradeoff in topology aggregation mechanisms with delay and bandwidth constraints in hierarchical networks, we propose a demand partitioning based topology aggregation mechanism called dominative points based topology aggregation (DPTA). The main drawback of traditional approaches is that these approaches use lines or curves to approximately represent the staircase which consists of representative points so that the performance degrades obviously as the number of representative points increases. However...
