Abstract: Methods are provided for visualizing end-to-end path traversed by a hybrid media traffic flow. Specifically, the methods involve obtaining at least one hybrid flow record that includes information about a source of a traffic flow prior to performing a network address translation for the traffic flow. The traffic flow traverses from the source, along a path in a network, to a destination. The method further involves generating a merged flow data record in which at least two flow data records are merged based on the at least one hybrid flow record. The at least two flow data records include a unicast flow data record and a multicast flow data record based on the traffic flow traversing along the path in the network. The method further includes providing an end-to-end visibility of the path traversed by the traffic flow based on the merged flow data record.
