Abstract
A monitoring service transmits network packets from a user's source network segment to a user-defined endpoint upon request from a user. The endpoint can be any valid private IP address or DNS name where traffic is to be sent. Users can further define a monitor, which combines the endpoint, the subnets that the users want to send traffic from, and probes that define how packets are sent to the endpoint. Users can enable probe (IPv4 and IPv6) support, and probes can use ICMP or TCP protocols. Probes can be transmitted towards the configured endpoint from the source segments that are defined, and report metrics, such as packet loss and round-trip time or other measured latency. The metrics can be compared against health monitoring metrics to determine whether any issues are associated with a compute service provider, generally, or with a user network segment.
