Abstract
Techniques for sharing the probing of software-as-a-service clouds among a cluster of routers are described herein. The techniques may include establishing a first path between a cluster of routers and an application infrastructure. Establishing a second path between the cluster of routers and the application infrastructure. Designating a first router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the first path to the application infrastructure. Designating a second router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the second path to the application infrastructure. Distributing, by the first router and to the cluster of routers, first routing performance data indicating a performance of the first path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the first path, distributing, by the second router and to the cluster of routers, second routing performance data indicating a performance of the second path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the second path.
