Abstract
A system for tracing operations executed by a network device on a packet wherein a network device may capture a packet and determine whether the packet is a candidate for tracing; if the packet is a candidate for tracing the network device may set a trace option identifier within the packet indicating that the packet is to be tagged in association with operations performed on or in association with the packet by the network device. The network device may tag the packet with one or more tags in response to the trace option identifier, export the packet with the trace option identifier, generate a report based on the tags and send the report to a network management station.
