Hello Friends,

How does one programmatically access the MS-LLTP (not to be confused with LLDP) Windows Network Map (Topology Discovery) on a Windows desktop ideally using VB.NET?

I need to getthe info behind the detailed map to see the device name and IP address that the local Windows (win7+) desktop is directly connected to.

Anyone with an experience with MS-LLTD?

Novice developer - please be kind.

Thanks,
