We study operational issues faced by Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) network owners and find that SME network management practices have stagnated over the past decade, despite many recent advances in network management. Many of these advances target hyperscalers and ISPs and cannot be directly applied to SME networks that are operated with vastly different constraints. In our work, we outline these constraints and explain how they impact challenges around debugging, namely: representing, reproducing, and remediating network problems. This article takes a fresh look at these challenges in the light of SME practices around collaborative debugging and presents a roadmap aimed to help resolve SME operational issues quickly.

我们研究了中小企业 (SME) 网络所有者面临的运营问题，发现尽管最近在网络管理方面取得了许多进展，但 SME 网络管理实践在过去十年中停滞不前。其中许多进步针对的是超大规模和 ISP，不能直接应用于以截然不同的约束条件运行的 SME 网络。在我们的工作中，我们概述了这些约束并解释了它们如何影响调试方面的挑战，即：表示、再现和修复网络问题。本文根据 SME 围绕协作调试的实践重新审视了这些挑战，并提出了旨在帮助快速解决 SME 运营问题的路线图。
