Abstract:
A path detection method in a virtual extensible local area network (VxLAN), a controller, and a network device, where the controller constructs a detection packet according to a detection request and sends the detection packet to a source network device corresponding to a source VxLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP). The source network device forwards, level by level, the detection packet to a destination network device corresponding to a destination VTEP, and reports information such as an Internet Protocol (IP) address, an outbound interface number, and an inbound interface number to the controller level by level. Therefore, a real service path may be detected.

Claim (Index 18):
The network device of  claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n identify the received detection packet according to the identifier indicating the path detection service; and obtain, according to a stored correspondence between the detection packet and an execution action in an access control list (ACL) or a flow table preset, the execution action corresponding to the detection packet, the execution action comprising forwarding the detection packet, and sending the reporting message to the controller.
