Abstract

A background process is executed which dynamically determines nodes in a path from a start node to an end node. The background process examines a routing table of routing nodes in the path to determine changes in the path. Information regarding multiple paths between a first node and a second node of the network can be stored so that a point of primary failure can be more accurately determined.
