Fault localization is a process of isolating faults responsible for the observable malfunctioning of the managed system. This paper reviews some existing approaches of this process and improves one of described techniques - the probing. Probes are test transactions that can be actively selected and sent through the network. Suggested innovations include: mixed (passive and active) probing, partitioning used for probe selection, logical detection of probing results, and adaptive, sequential probing.
