Research on Detecting Faults Based on Internet Control Message Protocol

Abstract

All types of network management may suffer with a problem of unapproachable host, congestion and inappropriate functioning of the switches connected in the network. In order to detect these problems is a tremendous job for the network management section. This paper also helps for knowing that whether various devices are connected in the network will works properly or not. With the help of such application all the IP addresses of the network are used to check for any error present in the known network and then it displays all the information about that switch that is faulty or malfunctioning. This technique may helps in discovering the switches that undertaking the problems of no connection, improper functioning, and congestion and accounts it to the concerned section. All the switches are to be analyzed are sent a series of ICMPECHO_Request messages and on the basis of the all replies received, a decision will be created and any problem may occurs in the network is reported
