Summary:
The performance and reliability of services relies on the network virtualization environment’s capabilities to effectively detect and diagnose faults in both substrate and virtual network. However, Network Virtualization Environment (NVE) brings to fault diagnosis new challenges such as inaccessible substrate network information and multi-layer faults. To solve the above issues, a Multi-layer Fault Diagnosis Method (MFDM) is proposed. A layer-by-layer strategy is used to resolve the problem of inaccessible substrate network information. And a filtering algorithm is proposed to distinguish the multi-layer faults in the network virtualization environment. At last, a contribution-based hypothesis selection algorithm is proposed to infer the most possible faults. Simulations and experimental results show that MFDM has a higher performance in the accuracy ratio, false-positive ratio.
