Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises: establishing, from an agent hub device, a tunnel to a remote vantage point device; generating, by the agent hub device, test traffic to appear as though the test traffic originates from the remote vantage point device; encapsulating, by the agent hub device, the test traffic into the tunnel to the remote vantage point device to cause the remote vantage point device to decapsulate the test traffic and send the test traffic as though the test traffic originated from the remote vantage point device; receiving, at the agent hub device, one or more returned test responses in response to the test traffic; and producing, by the agent hub device, test results based on the one or more returned test responses.
