Systems and methods are described herein for monitoring and orchestrating an autonomous system. A process, according to one implementation, includes a step of monitoring an autonomous system that spans across multiple domains. The process also includes obtaining one or more ingress endpoints associated with Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic used for conducting one or more VPN services through the autonomous system. Also, the process includes the step of obtaining one or more egress endpoints associated with the VPN traffic, wherein the one or more ingress endpoints and the one or more egress endpoints are located in the multiple domains. The process further includes using the one or more ingress endpoints and the one or more egress endpoints to compute one or more end-to-end VPN traffic paths through the autonomous system.

Monitoring and orchestrating stitched VPN services across multiple domains

Systems and methods include detecting whether a monitored network has a unique configuration; responsive to the unique configuration, determining an ingress point for flow samples; and utilizing the determined ingress point for the flow samples to generate a traffic report for the monitored network. The unique configuration is an inter-Autonomous System (AS) option-C Virtual Private Network (VPN) network where control and data planes are asymmetric. The approach provides traffic projection based on the flow samples with the asymmetric flows.
