Abstract: A device may receive configuration information for generating an application probe. The application probe may be used to request network information, associated with an application, from network devices. The device may determine, based on the configuration information, traffic parameters associated with the application. The device may determine a requested type of network information to be requested from the network devices. The device may generate the application probe by including, in the application probe, the traffic parameters and information identifying the requested type of network information. The device may transmit the application probe to a network device of the network devices. The device may receive, from the network device and based on transmitting the application probe, a value associated with the requested type of network information.

Abstract: An output circuit, included in a device, may determine counter information associated with a packet provided via an output queue managed by the output circuit. The output circuit may determine that a latency event, associated with the output queue, has occurred. The output circuit may provide the counter information and time of day information associated with the counter information. The output circuit may provide a latency event notification associated with the output queue. An input circuit, included in the device, may receive the latency event notification associated with the output queue. The input circuit may determine performance information associated with an input queue. The input queue may correspond to the output queue and may be managed by the input circuit. The input circuit may provide the performance information associated with the input queue and time of day information associated with the performance information.

Abstract: A device may receive an indication to generate a probe packet associated with a tunnel included in a first network. The tunnel may include a first tunnel endpoint and a second tunnel endpoint and may correspond to a path, associated with a second network, between the first tunnel endpoint and the second tunnel endpoint. The device may generate the probe packet including information associated with the tunnel. The device may provide the probe packet, via the first tunnel endpoint, such that the probe packet is received by a network device that lies on the path. The device may receive a response packet, associated with the probe packet and provided by the network device, that includes path information. The path information may include information associated with the network device. The device may store the path information to allow the network device to be identified as lying on the path.
