“…Periodic device polling for monitoring information about the liveness of hardware or software has been used as fault detection and identification in distributed systems (Bheevgade and Patrikar 2008; Zhou et al 2007; Bhagyashree et al 2010). A technique used at software level for fault identification is known as “heartbeat” where a liveness message is produced by the device mentioning about its correct functioning and working (Ammendola et al 2015), though it has a slight disadvantage of creating extra network traffic.…”

Computational grids are established with the intention of providing shared access to hardware and software based resources with special reference to increased computational capabilities. Fault tolerance is one of the most important issues faced by the computational grids. The main contribution of this survey is the creation of an extended classification of problems that incur in the computational grid environments. The proposed classification will help researchers, developers, and maintainers of grids to understand the types of issues to be anticipated. Moreover, different types of problems, such as omission, interaction, and timing related have been identified that need to be handled on various layers of the computational grid. In this survey, an analysis and examination is also performed pertaining to the fault tolerance and fault detection mechanisms. Our conclusion is that a dependable and reliable grid can only be established when more emphasis is on fault identification. Moreover, our survey reveals that adaptive and intelligent fault identification, and tolerance techniques can improve the dependability of grid working environments.

“…the use of watchdog components, either in hardware or software, is well documented in fault tolerance; this has been applied pervasively to detect faults on distributed systems [6][7][8]. More widely used at a software level is the similar concept of the heartbeats mechanism [9], where devices to be monitored emit a sort of ⟨I'm alive⟩ message [10]; obvious drawback is the generation of network traffic overhead.…”

As the technology used to implement computer network infrastructure advances, networking resources are becoming more vulnerable to attack. Recent router designs are based on general-purpose programmable processors, which increase their potential vulnerability. To address this issue, a Secure Packet Processing platform has been developed that can flexibly protect emerging router systems. Both instructionlevel operation of embedded processors and I/O operations of router ports are monitored to detect anomalous behavior. If such behavior is detected, a recovery system is invoked to restore the system into an operational state. Experimental results show that processor-based attacks can generally be determined by a processing monitor within a single instruction. I/O anomalies, including unexpected packet broadcast or delay, can be detected by an I/O monitor with limited overhead. Overall, the system overhead for secure monitoring is limited to a fraction of the overall system space, memory, and power budget.
