Abstract
A control device may subscribe to receive data from a network device. The data may be associated with a plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device and include a first descriptor based on a type of packet drop associated with a packet of the plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device, and one or more second descriptors based on a packet flow associated with the plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device. The control device may determine a dropped packet profile associated with the network device, based on the first descriptor and the one or more second descriptors. The control device may generate a first notification based on the dropped packet profile associated with the network device and transmit the first notification to cause an action to be performed based on the first notification.
