Abstract:
Techniques for using traceroute with tunnels and cloud-based systems for determining measures of network performance are presented. Systems and methods include receiving a request, from a client, for a trace of the tunnel; causing the trace inside the tunnel; obtaining results of the trace inside the tunnel; and sending the results of the trace inside the tunnel to the client so that the client aggregates these details with details from one or more additional legs to provide an overall view of a service path between the client and a destination.
