A method of diagnosing a fault in a network path comprises the steps, performed at a diagnosing node, of initiating a path discovery test. The diagnosing node receives at least one path discovery test response and identifies the diagnosable node on the network path from a path discovery test response. The diagnosing node remotely accesses said diagnosable node and performs a diagnostic routine at said diagnosable node.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for detecting a path between two nodes. During operation, the system transmits a network-testing request frame, which includes a time-to-live (TTL) field within a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) header, from a source node to a destination node. In response to receiving a network-testing response frame sent from an intermediate node, the system increments the TTL value by 1 and re-transmits the network-testing frame to the destination node. In response to receiving a network-testing response frame sent from the destination node, the system determines a path between the source node and the destination node. The network-testing request or response frames is not processed on an Internet Protocol (IP) layer.

The invention aims to implement the Load Balancing/Backup function in a Multi-Users environment and to allow a remote station to have an alternate route through another Token Ring DLC to backup. By directing the connection to another route, it postpones the connection from a remote station to a Token Ring user through a first selected Token Ring DLC for a predetermined delay. For that purpose, each Token Ring DLC stores parameters of the remote station that has an unsuccessful connection in its own Connection Cache Table. In this way, when a Test frame is received in each DLC, this latter checks in the Connection Cache Table before responding to the Test frame. The Test frame is ignored and no Test response is sent back to the remote station when the remote station is identified in the table so as to allow the remote station to detect an alternate route with a backup DLC if it exists. Each Token Ring DLC manages its own Connection Cache table which contains an entry, a source MAC address and a Source SAP and a counter indicating the number of unsuccessful attempted Test frames received from that remote station. If the counter reaches a value N, then the entry corresponding to the remote station is removed from the table. Thus, the next time a Test frame is received from this remote station, it is accepted and a response is sent from the DLC. It gives a new opportunity to the remote station to establish a connection to the user in case this latter would become available again.
