Abstract:
Link detection method, apparatus, network device and controller are provided. The method includes sequentially sending a detection message from a starting network device to each network device up to an ending network device on a detected link, the detection message including a source IP address and a destination IP address on the detected link, and an identifier of the detection message; receiving link status information reported by a network device on the detected link, the link status information including the source IP address, the destination IP address, a device IP address of the network device, and the identifier; and performing a matching between the detection message and the detected link based on the source IP address, the destination IP address and the identifier included in the link status information, and locating a network position of the network device on the detected link based on the device IP address.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n determining a device IP address of the next-jump network device if no link status information of the next-jump network device is received within the defined time period; and generating warning information indicating an existence of a failed link in the detected link based on the device IP address of the next-jump network device.
