Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques to generate information of the operational characteristics of a border relay device. For example, a host device transmits a loop-back packet that travels through a forwarding path of the border relay device, rather than a control path, and back to the host device. Based on the host device receiving the loop-back packet, the host device may generate information indicative of operational characteristics of the border relay device.
