Abstract
This application provides a network fault locating method and apparatus in an IP network. In this solution, a router automatically reports status information, and a controller determines, based on the status information, whether a communication path is faulty. If a fault exists, the controller may indicate a router on the communication path to perform fault locating. The fault locating can be completed without waiting for manual intervention, so that operation and maintenance efficiency in the IP network is improved. After completing the fault locating, the router reports location information of a fault point to the controller, and the controller may perform troubleshooting at the fault point, so that the fault can be quickly rectified.
