Monitoring Ethernet Connectivity

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Although the Ethernet promises high probability packet delivery between all pairs of hosts, defects in the installation can sometimes prevent some pairs of hosts from communicating very well. This paper published by HP describes a method that was developed and used at Carnegie Mellon University during 1984-1985 to monitor the connectivity between all pairs of hosts on the Ethernet. The method is based on sending test packets from a central station through various cyclic routes and relating the results to the likelihood of various defects via a system probability model.
