Abstract: bi-directional tunnel probing in a network may be extended to multi-realm networks, providing bi-directional probing in a multi-realm network. bi-directional probing uses probe packets with a forward tunnel label, a reverse tunnel label, and an ip packet header. bi-directional probing in a multi-realm network uses a forward tunnel label, an sid, a reverse tunnel label, and an ip packet header. penultimate hop popping strips the outermost labels in a specific order. the sid gets the probe packet back into the originating realm, and the reverse tunnel label returns the probe packet along the reverse direction of the tunnel. no sid is needed for intra-realm probing, and the ip packet header is used to return the probe packet if the reverse tunnel label is absent.
