Pool-based network diagnostic systems and methods
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon configured to providing the following functionality:
- an alarm module configured to receive statistics at least partially generated by a first network diagnostic module;
to determine whether the statistics satisfy a set of conditions associated with a first alarm, the first alarm having a priority; and
to compare the priority of the first alarm and a priority of a second network diagnostic module, wherein the second network diagnostic module performs a network diagnostic function in response to a second alarm.

Abstract
A networking system may include one or more nodes communicating with each other. The nodes may communicate via one or more links, which a switch or other structure may provide. The networking system may include one or more pools of at least one network diagnostic module. A network diagnostic module may test one or more links and may be configured to rove among a plurality of links. The networking system may include an alarm module. The alarm module may configure one or more network diagnostic modules to test a link. Preferably, the alarm module may, at least partially in response to a first network diagnostic module detecting particular conditions on a link, configure one or more other network diagnostic modules to test a link. The alarm module may configure the one or more other network diagnostic modules according to priority.

17. A non-transitory computer readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon comprising:
means for providing an alarm module configured to receive statistics at least partially generated by a first network diagnostic module;
to determine whether the statistics satisfy a set of conditions associated with a first alarm, the first alarm having a priority; and
to compare the priority of the first alarm and a priority of a second network diagnostic module, wherein the alarm module is further configured to compare the priority of the first alarm and a priority of a third network diagnostic module.
