In this paper, we quantify the amount of “practical” information (
i.e.
views obtained from the neighbors, colors attributed to the nodes and links) to obtain “theoretical” information (
i.e.
the local topology of the network up to distance
k
) in anonymous networks. In more details, we show that a coloring at distance 2
k
+ 1 is necessary and sufficient to obtain the local topology at distance
k
that includes outgoing links. This bound drops to 2
k
when outgoing links are not needed. A second contribution of this paper deals with color bootstrapping (from which local topology can be obtained using the aforementioned mechanisms). On the negative side, we show that
(i)
with a distributed daemon, it is impossible to achieve deterministic color bootstrap, even if the whole network topology can be instantaneously obtained, and
(ii)
with a central daemon, it is impossible to achieve distance
m
when instantaneous topology knowledge is limited to
m
− 1. On the positive side, we show that
(i)
under the
k
-central daemon, deterministic self-stabilizing bootstrap of colors up to distance
k
is possible provided that
k
-local topology can be instantaneously obtained, and
(ii)
under the distributed daemon, probabilistic self-stabilizing bootstrap is possible for any range.
