    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a packet tracing mechanism will be described that provides packet tracing information to a mobile network controller. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a data packet sent from a source node to a destination node; determining if the data packet is to be updated with packet tracing information; and upon determining that the data packet is to be updated, updating the packet tracing information of the data packet to include identification of the network device and an ingress timestamp of the data packet at the network device for a corresponding network controller to determining network routing policies.

    Abstract: Techniques for processing path tracing probe packets using hardware (e.g., hardware memory of a node) and without the involvement of a path tracing collector component of a network controller. A source node may be configured to generate and assign random flow labels to a large number of probe packets and send them through the network to a sink node. The sink node may determine whether a flow indicated by the probe packet has previously been traversed. Additionally, the sink node may determine latency values associated with the flows, and store probe packets in corresponding latency bins. The latency bins may be stored in hardware memory of the sink node. Telemetry data representing the probe packets stored in the latency bins may be sent to a network controller for further network analysis.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying, by a network component, a first segment identifier (SID) within a SID list. The first SID includes a first SID block and a first micro SID (uSID). The method also includes initializing, by the network component, a packing list of a uSID carrier with the first uSID of the first SID and initializing, by the network component, a packing block of the uSID carrier with the first SID block of the first SID. The method further includes initializing, by the network component, a remaining packing capacity of the packing list with a carrier capacity of the first SID and initializing, by the network component, an empty compressed SID list.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media to measure performance of distinct paths of a network. A method includes determining a collection of hashes of a network based on a network probe event, each hash in the collection of hashes corresponding to a distinct path from a first edge device to a second edge device through the network; transmitting a collection of probes from the first edge device in the network, wherein each probe in the collection of probes is assigned a hash selected from the collection of hashes; receiving probes from the collection of probes at the second edge device; and determining a network performance of each distinct path through the network.
