Abstract:
According to one aspect, a method includes monitoring traffic between a first network element and a second network element, and determining when no packets have been sent from the first network element towards the second network element within a predetermined amount of time. When it is determined that no packets have been sent from the first network element towards the second network element within the predetermined amount of time, the method includes sending at least one smart probe packet from the first network element to the second network element.
