Abstract

In general, embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for presenting container tracing information (CTI). More specifically, CTI represents the union of container-server mappings, provided by a third-party container management system (CMS), and server-port mappings obtained by a network element using neighbor information. As a solution, CTI may be useful to administrators who require locating containers in a network or datacenter for troubleshooting.
