Abstract

The ability to measure and identify performance fault locations on an Internet path between two hosts is an important first step towards diagnosing and correcting a fault or avoiding fault locations entirely. The ability to identify fault locations on both the forward and reverse paths from a single point would be very powerful for both operators and users. Rather than describing a tool for path diagnosis per se, this paper describes how one could apply a simple measurement protocol to diagnose faults.
