Abstract
Computer-aided identification of a potential problem node in a network. As part of data collection, a computing system gathers telemetric and trace route data for communications that occur within a network. Upon detecting that a performance problem has occurred within the network, multiple communications that occurred around the time of the performance problem are identified. Then, the trace route data for these multiple communications are aggregated. The aggregated data may then be used to identify a potential problem network node within the network. The identity of the potential problem network node (and potentially observed telemetry for that network node) may then be communicated to an entity that is affected by the performance problem. This may allow the entity to understand which network node is causing the problem and thus take appropriate remedial measures.
