Research Abstract	In this study, we worked on the collection, share, and analysis of IP network topology to accelerate the autonomous activity of network applications. We implemented a real system on which a number of network nodes cooperate to measure the IP network topology and showed the feasibility of cooperative measurement system. We also confirmed that the number of detections in the cooperative IP topology measurement could be a handy index to detect the boundary of management domains on the Internet.
