Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for measuring the traffic flow on a link. The system includes a processor that is configured to generate aggregate egress data for multiple origin endpoints by aggregating amounts of egress traffic detected by servers processing the egress traffic at the origin endpoints. The processor is also configured to obtain the proportions of traffic flows that traverse each path between each endpoint pair, which includes an origin endpoint and a destination endpoint. Each path includes multiple network links such that a single network link may be shared across multiple paths. Finally, the processor computes an amount of traffic flow on a shared link based on the aggregate egress data and the obtained proportions.
