Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to the field of systems and methods of diagnosis of apparatuses constituting a vast machine-to-machine communication network. The system proposed is based on a virtual network linking the various apparatuses so as to form a hierarchical tree. This virtual network is reliant on the network for real communication between the apparatuses. However, the topology of the virtual network is independent of that of the real network. Each apparatus includes a diagnostic agent offering local self-diagnostic capabilities. Each apparatus enables offering a state of its operation and of the operation of the entire sub-network of which it is the father. The self-diagnostic capabilities of an apparatus are implemented either locally by the apparatus, or within apparatuses of its close network environment as a function of the capabilities of the various items of equipment.
