A simple way to prototype this would be to have on each babel speaker a cron job that would poll a network management server with an HTTP request to register/refresh the facts about itself. This of course means that the server would know only about the speakers that managed to join the same part of the network as the server. But on the other hand you would be able to spend more time on the network map software instead of fusing a discovery protocol and a routing protocol together.
