Abstract
A method of managing inter-branch communication is a network, including generating an end-to-end path, wherein the end-to-end path starts in a first computing device in a first branch and ends at a second computing device in a second branch, wherein the end-to-end path is generated using a plurality of flow records and a plurality of path records and the end-to-end path includes a wide area network (WAN) segment, and issuing, based on the generating, a notification to a network administrator, wherein the notification specifies the end-to-end path and a latency associated with at least one segment in the end-to-end path.
