Claim 9:
10. A system of validating packet forwarding in a multi-cloud environment, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
identify, at a first network hop, one or more network hops across a multi-cloud environment, wherein the one or more network hops are adjacent or connected to the first network hop;
determine a corresponding flow label for each of the respective one or more network hops, the corresponding flow label at least identifying data being transmitted from the first network hop to a corresponding hop of the one or more network hops and being separate from a segment identifier;
validate packet forwarding of the one or more network hops using at least the corresponding flow label;
determine one or more additional network hops across the multi-cloud environment to be validated based on the validation of the one or more network hops; and
validate packet forwarding for the one or more additional network hops in the queue.
