The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project it to help implement networks that are less likely to fail or can recover more quickly under failure, thus providing a more reliable networking infrastructure. The project targets software-defined networks, which promise improved network functionality, but have seen slower-than-expected deployment due to the lack of network management solutions. Bringing a novel fault detection and traceback system to market may have significant impact on the software-defined network management business.This I-Corps project aims to develop a commercialization plan for a network management and troubleshooting tool for software-defined networks. The technology aims to provide network operators with improved network visibility. Software-defined networks are very dynamic, which provides network operators with the capability and flexibility to program the network, but at the cost of more complex troubleshooting. The methodology used in our technology uses network state in such a way that enables operators to visualize the evolution of their network, resulting in faster root cause analysis when network faults occur.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是帮助实施不太可能发生故障或在故障下可以更快恢复的网络，从而提供更可靠的网络基础设施。该项目的目标是软件定义网络，该网络承诺改善网络功能，但由于缺乏网络管理解决方案，部署速度慢于预期。将一种新型的故障检测与追溯系统推向市场，将对软件定义网络管理业务产生重大影响。I-Corps项目旨在为软件定义网络开发一种网络管理和故障排除工具的商业化计划。该技术旨在为网络运营商提供更好的网络可见性。软件定义网络是非常动态的，它为网络运营商提供了对网络进行编程的能力和灵活性，但代价是更复杂的故障排除。我们的技术中使用的方法利用网络状态，使运营商能够可视化其网络的演变，从而在网络故障发生时更快地分析根本原因。
