Abstract: Methods are provided for path tracing and visibility for tenant routed multicast (TRM) flows including validating the TRM flows based on path tracing on various layers including overlay and underlay. Specifically, the methods involve obtaining at least one tenant flow data record for a tenant routed multicast traffic flow that traverses from a source, along a path in a network, to at least one destination. The at least one tenant flow data record includes underlay encapsulation information and tenant information. The methods further involve generating a merged flow data record in which the tenant information of a tenant incoming interface flow record is mapped to the underlay encapsulation information based on the at least one tenant flow data record and providing an end-to-end visibility of the path traversed by the tenant routed multicast traffic flow including a tenant path and an underlay path based on the merged flow data record.

Abstract: Methods are provided for visualizing end-to-end path traversed by a hybrid media traffic flow. Specifically, the methods involve obtaining at least one hybrid flow record that includes information about a source of a traffic flow prior to performing a network address translation for the traffic flow. The traffic flow traverses from the source, along a path in a network, to a destination. The method further involves generating a merged flow data record in which at least two flow data records are merged based on the at least one hybrid flow record. The at least two flow data records include a unicast flow data record and a multicast flow data record based on the traffic flow traversing along the path in the network. The method further includes providing an end-to-end visibility of the path traversed by the traffic flow based on the merged flow data record.
