Accurate differential traceroute latency calculation between hops

Abstract:

Techniques for using traceroute with tunnels and cloud-based systems for determining measures of network performance are presented. Systems and methods include performing a plurality of traces between two nodes in a service path; obtaining latency measurements for each of the plurality of traces for each of one or more hops between the two nodes; and determining average latency between each of the one or more hops based on the latency measurements, adjusted average latency for each hop, and differential average latency for each hop.
