DIAGNOSTIC ROUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A LINK ACCESS GROUP

摘要

An apparatus is provided for managing diagnostic routing procedures through a communication node having a link aggregation group (LAG). The apparatus receives a first diagnostic routing request message to perform a diagnostic routing procedure on a communication path between the first communication node and a second communication node. When the communication path between the first communication node and the second communication node is configured in a link aggregation group (LAG), the apparatus transmits a second diagnostic routing request message through each of the links of the LAG to the second communication node, the LAG comprising a plurality of independent links that collectively convey the communication path, and receives a response to the second diagnostic routing request message from the second communication node through one or more of the links.
