Abstract

Techniques for distributed network connectivity monitoring of provider network edge location resources from cellular networks are described. A central service transmits test suites of commands to agents executed by test devices, which can execute the commands to test network characteristics between the test devices and target locations via one or multiple cellular communications networks. Results of the testing are sent back to the central service for processing, and the resultant metrics can be used for intelligent latency-based routing of clients, latency-based placement of resources, and/or performance monitoring of deployed resources.
