Abstract:
According to one or more implementations of the disclosure, a device initiates probing of a path in a network during which one or more probe packets are sent along the path. A hop along the path modifies the one or more probe packets to include energy source information regarding one or more energy sources available to that hop. The device receives results of the probing of the path that include the energy source information. The device generates, based on the results of the probing, a visual representation of the path and those one or energy sources available to different hops along the path. The device provides the visual representation of the path to a user interface for display.
