Abstract
Systems and methods for fault detection in large scale networks are provided. Probing instructions are generated by a probing controller associated with a network having a plurality of nodes. The probing instructions include a specified source node and a specified destination node. Each probing instruction is transmitted to a probing agent coupled to the specified source node and a data packet is transmitted from the probing agent to the specified destination node. A fault detection module is informed of probing instructions associated with failed transmissions, identifies a plurality of nodes having a likelihood of being in a network path associated with failed transmissions, and processes the plurality of nodes having a likelihood of being in the network paths associated with failed transmissions to identify of a set of likely failed nodes.
