AUTOMATED NETWORK FAULT LOCATION |
摘要 |
A method, system, and computer program product for locating a network fault are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of network probes is configured to execute at a corresponding set of networking components in a data network. A set of events is received. An event in the set of events includes a list of network probes in an order those network probes are visited, the list of network probes forming a path in a set of paths. A test is performed to determine whether a fault condition is present in any of the paths. Those paths are selected, as a set of candidate paths, where the fault condition is present. At least one segment of a specified length is located that is common to a threshold number of paths in the set of candidate paths. The located segment is suggested as the location of the network fault. |

1. A method for locating a network fault, the method comprising:
configuring, using a processor and a memory, a set of network probes to execute at a corresponding set of networking components in a data network; receiving a set of events, wherein an event in the set of events includes a list of network probes in an order those network probes are visited, the list of network probes forming a path in a set of paths; performing a test to determine whether a fault condition is present in any of the paths in the set of paths; selecting those paths, as a set of candidate paths, where the fault condition is present; locating at least one segment of a specified length that is common to a threshold number of paths in the set of candidate paths; and suggesting the at least one segment as the location of the network fault. |
