中文摘要：

文章提出了一种基于ICMP协议的测量方法，该方法能够测量出在自愈IP网络中由故障引起的收敛时间。在实际中对以太交换机的生成树协议的倒换恢复收敛时间进行了测试和验证，并分析了试验结果误差。最后与相关的测试方法相比较，总结出此方法的优点。

英文摘要：

A test method based on ICMP is presented,which measures the convergence time of self-healing IP network after malfunction. The switching recovery convergence time based on Spanning Tree Protocol was tested in experiment, and the test error was analyzed. Comparing with other test methods, this method has great advantages.
