Abstract :
This system uses an architecture which allows the diagnostic knowledge for a particular protocol to be separate from the reasoning mechanism. The protocol-specific knowledge is held in a structure referred to as the protocol diagnostic model (PDM), and consists of a set of associations between patterns and actions. A diagnosis of a network failure can be made by recognizing certain symptoms from observed protocol events. These symptoms are detected by matching representations of the temporal relationships between observed events against the patterns in the PDM
