On Fault Management using Passive Testing for Mobile IPv6 Networks
抄録
In this paper, we employ the Communicating finite state machine (CFSM)
model for networks to investigate fault management using passive testing.
First, we introduce the concept of passive testing. Then, we introduce the
CFSM model and the observer model with necessary assumptions and
justification. We introduce the fault model and the fault detection
algorithm using passive testing. We present our new passive testing
approach for fault location, fault identification, and fault coverage
based on the CFSM model. Examples are given for each fault management
function to illustrate our approach. Then, we illustrate the effectiveness
of our new technique through simulation of a practical protocol example, a
4-node mobile Ipv6 network. Finally future extensions and potential trends
are discussed.
