In one embodiment, a system includes a plurality of overlay-capable devices, each overlay-capable device having an interface adapted for terminating and/or originating tunnels in an overlay network with other overlay-capable devices, logic adapted for creating statistics about overlay-encapsulated packets which are received by or sent by the overlay-capable device, logic adapted for accumulating the statistics, and logic adapted for storing the statistics in an accessible memory of the overlay-capable device. In another embodiment, a method for generating statistics about encapsulated packets within a virtual overlay network includes creating statistics about overlay-encapsulated packets which are received by or sent by each overlay-capable device in an overlay network, accumulating the statistics for each overlay-capable device through which the overlay-encapsulated packets passed, and storing the statistics in an accessible manner. |
