Abstract
A system and method are provided for a network communication protocol specifically directed to implementation of fault management between managers, agents and test objects in the network. Timers for limiting the available times for implicit and explicit reports and instructions are provided to avoid excessive waits for instructions, responses or execution of the overall test. Agents can autonomously report test results to reduce manager responsibilities for improved operating efficiency.
