1. A computer implemented method comprising:

  • under control of a computing device configured with specific computer executable instructions;

    isolating a first network link from a plurality of active network links of a network channel between a first computing asset and a second computing asset, wherein each network link of the plurality of active network links corresponds to a direct communication connection between the first computing asset and the second computing asset, wherein isolating the first network link comprises shutting down other network links of the plurality of active network links, wherein the first network link is connected to at least a second network link to form a network path including the first computing asset, the second computing asset, and a third computing asset, and wherein the second network link corresponds to a direct communication connection between the third computing asset and the first computing asset or between the third computing asset and the second computing asset;

    obtaining active link information for the network channel, wherein the active link information corresponds to packet traffic on the first network link along the network path; and

    determining whether a network link of the network channel is malfunctioning based, at least in part, on the active link information.
