Protocols and Lower Bounds for Failure Localization in the Internet

Abstract. A secure failure-localization path-quality-monitoring (FLPQM) protocols allows a sender to localize faulty links on a single path through a network to a receiver, even when intermediate nodes on the path behave adversarially. Such protocols were proposed as tools that enable Internet service providers to select high-performance paths through the Internet, or to enforce contractual obligations. We give the first formal definitions of security for FL-PQM protocols and construct:
