Abstract
A network comprises a destination node; a source node configured to output an enhanced route trace packet; and one or more intermediate nodes configured to forward the enhanced route trace packet toward the destination node based on a routing table until the enhanced route trace packet reaches the destination node. Each of the one or more intermediate nodes is further configured to insert identifying information into the enhanced route trace packet. The destination node is configured to send a response packet to the source node containing all the identifying information entered by the one or more intermediate nodes. The destination node is also configured to insert identifying information into the response packet.
