Web browsers provide little feedback on such failures, typically offering only generic suggestions such as re-checking the URL or the machine\u2019s network settings. Hence, users are often unable to diagnose Web access problems, and resort to haphazardly modifying their settings or simply trying again later. We advocate a client-based collaborative approach for diagnosing Web browsing failures. Our system, WebProfiler, leverages end-host cooperation to pool together observations on the successor failure of Web accesses from multiple vantage points. These are fed into a simple, collaborative blame attribution algorithm. Our evaluation on a controlled testbed shows WebProfiler can accurately diagnose 3.6 times as many failures than possible from a single client\u2019s perspective.

However, a significant number of \"pain points\" remain for end-users and network administrators. To resolve complaints quickly and efficiently, network administrators need tools that can assist them in detecting, isolating, diagnosing, and correcting faults.
