Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide isolating and applying a common protocol which may be used by multiple devices across multiple network levels to analyze an entire system of control networks. A generic message may be sent individually to targeted addresses across a network level. If a response is received from a device at a targeted address, such as within a timeout period, a specific message customized to the individual device may be sent to extract further detail about the device, including its connectivity to other devices and networks. The system may continue automatically until resource utilization of the entire system is determined to thereby provide diagnostic and reliability services.

Abstract translation: 本发明的方面提供了隔离和应用可以由多个设备跨多个网络级别使用以共享控制网络的整个系统的公共协议。 通用消息可以单独发送到跨网络级别的目标地址。 如果从目标地址的设备（例如在超时时段内）接收到响应，则可以发送针对各个设备定制的特定消息以提取关于设备的进一步细节，包括其与其他设备和网络的连接。 系统可以自动继续，直到确定整个系统的资源利用，从而提供诊断和可靠性服务。
