Abstract: Now a day’s we see that networks are widely distributed so administrators depends on various tools such as ping and traceroute to rectify the problem in the network. We proposed an automated and systematic approach for testing and debugging network called Automatic Test Packet Generation(ATPG). Initially ATPG reads router configuration and then generates a model which is device freelance. The model is used to generate the minimum number of test packets to cover every link and rule in network. ATPG is capable for detecting both functional and performance problems. Test packets are sent at regular intervals and special technique is used to localize faults.

Keywords: Test Packet Generation Algorithm; Network Troubleshooting; Data Plane Analysis.
