Abstract:

The faults localization method using active probing is investigated in this pape
r in the context of vector span. A probe station deployment approach is proposed to support the localization of multiple faults. The faults in the network can be localized sooner and costeffectively using the active probes sent from the probe stations placed in the network. We provide experiments to show that the proposed approach can minimize the number of probe stations and localize the multiple faults in the network.

Key words: fault localization, active probing, probe station placement
