Research on the Knowledge Plane: Distributed Learning and Reasoning About Network Outages

Abstract

This report summarizes experiences developing a demonstration system to perform distributed detection of network failures. A simple system was developed based on probabilistically inferring failed nodes from observations on requested traffic and propagated error messages. Simulations verified that network failures could be automatically detected with limited memory and communication overhead.
