Abstract
Systems, devices and techniques for an adaptive application-specific probing scheme are disclosed. An example network device includes memory configured to store a network address and probe protocol usable for probing a first network device associated with a source of an application, and one or more processors configured to determine a network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device, wherein the first network device comprises a server that is responsive to the probing, the server executing the application for the data flow, or a closest network device, to the server, that is responsive to the probing. The one or more processors are also configured to send to a second network device at a location serviced by the application, a message specifying the network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device.
