Abstract
In this paper we compare the performance of fault localization schemes for communication networks. Our model assumes a number of management centers, each responsible for a logically autonomous part of the whole telecommunication network. We briefly present three different fault localization schemes: namely, “Centralized”, “Decentralized” and “Distributed” fault localization, and, we compare their performance with respect to the computational effort each requires and the accuracy of the solution that each provides.
