Abstract
With the astounding developments in the field of electronics and communication, the world has truly turned into a global village. People around the globe are interconnected by what is commonly known as 'Internet' which is essentially a combination of many diverse networks. Since we do not live in an ideal world, these networks are error prone and endure faults of various degrees. Different types of networks have to cope with different types of faults. These faults cause degradation in the reliability, performance and availability of the services provided by these networks. The Network Fault Management (NFMs) systems have to continuously monitor the networked devices to locate, isolate and fix the faults that may develop with the passage of time and usage of the equipment. Different commercially available software tools are available for detecting the faults in the networks. However most of them are not able to detect and locate all types of faults. Moreover these software packages do not allow customization and modification of their source code which makes the task of fault management a tedious and arduous one.
In this paper we address the issues related to fault monitoring and rectification with an efficient and user friendly software solution that is based on open source architecture allowing development and improvement by the public community.
