Abstract
In networks, some communication links may be provided as part of a network underlay to reach outer networks/regions. Technologies are disclosed for monitoring/analyzing targeted networks using probe packets sent from outside of the targeted networks. The probe packets are configured to include an outer IP packet encapsulating an inner UDP packet, where the inner UDP packet indicates a source of the probe (e.g., an agent) as both the source and destination address. Time to Live (TTL) values for the inner and outer packets are controlled to propagate the packet through the network using the underlay to access the outer network/regions.
