  • System, method and program for determining failure in network communication
    Patent number: 7929449
    Abstract: System, method and program product for determining a cause of a failure of a communication from a source device to a destination device. A preferred route from the source device to the destination device comprises a series of routers in a forward order. First program instructions determine one or more initial routers in the series in the forward order from the source device toward the destination device. A last of the initial routers does not designate a next router in the series in the forward order toward the destination device. Second program instructions determine the series of routers in a reverse order from the destination device toward the source device.
