Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method of tracking connections in a network. The method receives an identification of a first network endpoint and a second network endpoint. The method then determines that the first network endpoint cannot directly address a packet flow to the second network endpoint. The method identifies an address translation rule of a network device that translates an address of the second network endpoint into a translated address. The method then determines that the first network endpoint can directly address a packet flow to the translated address. The method then identifies a route from the first network endpoint to the second endpoint through the network device that translates the address and displays the route including an identifier of the network device.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method. The method determines a forwarding path for a packet set by using a data plane model of a network. The method identifies a rule table implementing a step in the forwarding path of the packet set. The method retrieves an indexing file at a scalable storage based on the identified rule table. The indexing file stores rule entries for one or more rule tables of the network. The method retrieves provenance data regarding a rule of the rule table that is applicable to the packet set from the indexing file. The method presents the retrieved provenance information of the identified rule.
