Abstract
Embodiments herein selectively transmit probes between network nodes to estimate metrics associated with end-to-end paths through the network. In one embodiment, the network provider identifies key nodes based on a performance heuristic, such as the number of paths that run through each nodes, the amount of traffic that flows through the nodes, and the like. In addition to transmitting probes between the key nodes, supplemental probes can be transmitted from each customer edge device (e.g., a customer endpoint) to the key nodes in the provider's network. The data generated by probing between the key nodes and by probing between the customer edge devices and the key nodes can be combined to estimate metrics associated with end-to-end routes through the network.
