Abstract
A method and a first node for managing transmission of at least one probe message for detection of failure of a second node are disclosed. A network comprises the first and second nodes. The first node receives a message about an event related to the second node. The message comprises an identifier of the second node and an event type of the event. The first node retrieves at least one policy for failure detection based on the event type. The first node modifies a probe list based on said at least one policy with respect to the second node. The probe list indicates an order in which nodes, neighbouring to the first node, are to be probed by transmission of the probe messages thereto. The second node is one of the nodes neighbouring to the first node. The first node transmits the probe messages according to the probe list.
