Detecting the Faulty Communication Links under the Loose Coupled Distributed System
K.Q. Yan and S.C. Wang

Abstract: Our previous study solved the Byzantine Agreement (BA) problem in the presence of mixed faults on processors and links in the general network by proposed protocol GPBA. After that, they also solve the Fault Diagnosis Agreement (FDA) problem with mixed faults on processor by proposed protocol FDAMIX. Nevertheless, the protocol FDAMIX is designed for the FDA problem with faulty processors only. Therefore, the FDA problem with faulty links remains to be solved. That is, when the agreement is achieved by the GPBA, then executes the protocol FDAMIX can let the general network without faulty processors, but the faulty links are still existed in the general network. In this study, the proposed protocol FDAML can detect/locate the faulty links to solve the FDA problem and reconfigure the unstable general network be a stable general network.
