    Abstract: A method includes generating a visual representation of one or more multicast data trees over a service provider network, each multicast data tree exchanging data between two or more of a plurality of nodes of an entity operating over the service provider network; determining a respective network bandwidth usage over each of the one or more multicast data trees and a network bandwidth waste based on current bandwidth usage of existing data tunnels of one or more multicast data trees and replication distances associated with the plurality of nodes; modifying the one or more multicast data trees based on at least the respective network bandwidth usage over each of the one or more multicast data trees to yield a modification; generating a traffic routing policy to implement the modification; and transmitting a notification to a subset of the plurality of nodes affected by the traffic routing policy.

    Abstract: Techniques for generating and utilizing overlay-based Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) packets to detect issues with an underlay network. The techniques may include receiving, from a BGP peer device via a control plane path, an OAM probe indicating a forwarding path to be used for sending the traffic to a destination associated with a prefix. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on the OAM probe, that a next-hop device is incapable of being utilized to forward the traffic to the destination, the next-hop device determined based on an origination of the prefix. The techniques may further include performing a policy-based action based at least in part on determining that the next-hop device is incapable of being utilized to forward the traffic to the destination.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for tracing multicast paths in hybrid networks. A method for tracing multicast paths in hybrid networks includes intercepting, by an edge device, a first multicast trace request transmitted by a first network device that a source device is connected to for tracing a route between the source device to a receiver device, wherein the first network device receives a message from a multicast tracing client to trace a multicast path from the receiver device to the source device; generating a second multicast trace request based on the format for the core network using information from the first multicast trace request; and transmitting the second multicast trace request from an edge network device to the receiver device using the core network, the second multicast trace request including network information related to network performance between the first network device and the edge network device

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method herein comprises: determining a set of flows to be monitored within a computer network; determining, by the device, a set of nodes within the computer network through which the set of flows traverse; determining monitoring capabilities for the set of nodes; generating an assignment for each particular node of the set of nodes to monitor a subset of one or more flows of the set of flows based on the monitoring capabilities of each particular node, wherein the assignment for each particular node of the set of nodes ensures that each flow of the set of flows is monitored by at least one or more nodes of the set of nodes; and instructing the set of nodes to monitor the set of flows according to the assignment for each particular node of the set of nodes.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for logical flow aggregation for fragmented multicast flows, the methods including the steps of identifying a plurality of fragmented multicast flows that are logically related as a single flow in a multicast network; generating a plurality of multicast joins associated with the plurality of fragmented multicast flows, wherein each multicast join of the plurality of multicast joins includes a join attribute comprising a common flow identifier that identifies the plurality of fragmented multicast flows as logically related; and selecting a reverse forwarding path toward an upstream device for the plurality of multicast joins.
