Systems and methods for facilitating traceroute operations across segment routing paths within networks

Abstract:

A disclosed method may include (1) receiving, at a node within a network, an MPLS echo request from an additional node adjacent to the node, (2) determining that a FEC query is included in a FEC stack of the MPLS echo request and then, in response to determining that the FEC query is included in the FEC stack of the MPLS echo request, (3) determining at least one FEC that corresponds to a label included in a label stack of the MPLS echo request, and then (4) notifying the additional node of the FEC that corresponds to the label included in the label stack by sending, to the additional node, an MPLS echo reply that identifies the FEC that corresponds to the label. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
