FAULT DETECTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163192 titled 'FAULT DETECTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method, apparatus, and system for fault detection in network communication using a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) discriminator triggered by a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) message.
- Transmit end apparatus sends BGP message with BFD discriminator to trigger receive end apparatus to create an sbfd session for detecting reachability of a target object.
- Target object can be a locator address or next-hop address of the route.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application can be applied in:
- Network communication systems
- Fault detection and troubleshooting in routing protocols
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Improving fault detection in network communication
- Automating the creation of sessions for detecting reachability of target objects
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced network reliability
- Faster fault detection and resolution
- Improved network performance
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Networking equipment and software development
- Telecommunication companies for improving network reliability and performance
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Existing fault detection methods in network communication protocols
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this technology compare to existing fault detection methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy? 2. Are there any limitations or drawbacks to using BFD discriminators triggered by BGP messages for fault detection in network communication?
Original Abstract Submitted
this application provides a fault detection method, an apparatus, and a system. the method includes: a transmit end apparatus includes, when sending a border gateway protocol bgp message used for advertising a route, a bidirectional forwarding detection discriminator bfd discriminator configured by the transmit end apparatus, to trigger a receive end apparatus to automatically create an sbfd session used for detecting reachability of a target object associated with the transmit end apparatus, where the target object may be a locator address or a next-hop address of the route.
