  • Abstract
    We introduce a variant of the communicating finite state machine model for the specification of networks in order to determine correct or faulty behavior using passive testing. The appropriateness of the model is first argued, followed by an initial study of how the passive testing procedures developed for finite state machines could be applied. Approaches for, and limitations of, fault detection and fault location using this approach are discussed
