| file which the network administrator creates which indicates the nodes |
| to be expected and a ibdiscover.topo file which is the expected connectivity |
| and produces a new connectivity file (discover.topo.new) and outputs |
| the changes to stdout. The network administrator can choose to replace |
| the "old" topo file with the new one or certain changes in. |

| The syntax of the old and new topo files (ibdiscover.topo and |
| ibdiscover.topo.new) are: |
| |
| <LocalPort>|<LocalNodeGUID>|<RemotePort>|<RemoteNodeGUID> |
| |
