Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide messaging for assessment of telecommunication issues or other types of operational issues in networks that provide a service. In one embodiment, a client device (such as a computing device) that consumes information from a service provided via a network can determine a service performance issue. In response, in certain embodiments, the client device can probe multiple network components in the network by sending multiple messages to each of the multiple network components. The client device can determine a response to the messages from at least one of the multiple network components, and can leverage the response in order to determine an operating condition of and/or assign an operating condition status to at least one of the network components. As such, in certain embodiments, the client device can identify connectivity issues, communication infrastructure issues, and/or networking issues at the network.
