Abstract

Network state information and network topology information associated with a network is retrieved and transformed using a meta-language. The transformed data is compared against known network fault patterns to identify a matching network fault signature. The matching network fault signature is used to diagnose potential cause(s) of network problems that resulted in the matched signature.
