Abstract
A method and network device are shown that include identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node. Further, the method and network device include identifying a reduced fault set by eliminating the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node;
- and
- identifying a reduced fault set by eliminating the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
A network device comprising:
- an identifier engine to identify at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and to identify at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node;
- and
- a reduced set generator to identify a reduced fault set through the elimination of the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
A network device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the at least one processor, the memory including logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable to:
- identify at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node;
- and
- identify a reduced fault set by eliminating the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node;
- and
- means for identifying a reduced fault set by eliminating the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
Logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable to:
- identify at least one fault identifier to be a member of a first fault set, and identifying at least one fault identifier to be a member of a second fault set, the first fault set associated with a first path from a source node to a destination node, and the second fault set associated with a second path from the source node to the destination node;
- and
- identify a reduced fault set by eliminating the second fault set, when the first fault set is a subset of the second fault set.
