PROTOCOL EXPOSURE AS NETWORK HEALTH DETECTION

Techniques for exposing network health over network connections in service provider network are disclosed. Monitors such as connection tracking modules may be configured to process network information (e.g., TCP connection state information) relating to network traffic and to transmit the network information to a health manager for analysis. As an example, a customer may request network information relating to a virtual instance provided by a service provider. In response to the request, TCP connection state information relating to the virtual instance may be extracted and processed to determine a network health condition. Information relating to the determined network health condition may be provided to the requesting customer.
