US Patent 11949577 Determining the path of user datagram protocol (UDP) traceroute probes

Techniques for determining the path of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traceroute probes using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). Various embodiments include sending a plurality of probes to one or more legs in a network path; obtaining measurements from each of the plurality of probes for each of the one or more legs in the network path; and performing one or more actions based on the measurements from each of the plurality of probes. The steps further include overlapping the measurements to determine latency to a destination and identifying throttling of UDP traffic based on the overlapping of measurements from the plurality of probes.
