Abstract

This proposal advocates the research and development of tools and techniques to detect, diagnose, and correct network faults in local broadcast domains, whether they are wired (Ethernet) or wireless (802.11b). These tools will provide the troubleshooter with a useful visual reference for these network domains and automate element-by-element investigation of performance along a network path. In addition, the wireless work will provide a standard authentication platform for both IPv4 and IPv6 wireless clients.
