The identification of causes of errors in network systems is difficult due to
their inherent complexity. Network administrators usually rely on available
information sources to analyze the current situation and identify possible
problems. Even though they are able to identify the symptoms seen in the past and
thus can apply their experience gathered from the solved cases the time needed to
identify and correct the errors is considerable. The automation of the
troubleshooting process is a way to reduce the time spent on individual cases. In
this paper, the model that can be used to automate the diagnostic process of
network communication is presented. The model is based on building the finite
automaton to describe protocol behavior in various situations. The unknown
communication is checked against the model to identify error states and
associated descriptions of causes. The tool prototype was implemented in order to
demonstrate the proposed method via a set of experiments.
