  • DIAGNOSING INTERMEDIARY NETWORK NODES
    Publication number: 20240163160
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for diagnosing a presence or malfunction of a network node. In an example method, a first network node receives an indication of a diagnostic transmission originating from a second network node. The second network node further receives a forwarded transmission corresponding to the diagnostic transmission. The first network node diagnoses at least one of a presence or a malfunction of an intermediary node between the first network node and the second network node based on at least one of the indications of the diagnostic transmission or the forwarded transmission.
