A method 1200 for providing cloud network reachability analysis includes a reachability query that requests a reachability status 172 of a target 70 , 250 , 1110 including a packet header 22 associated with a data packet 24 . and receiving (20). The packet header includes a source IP address 25a and a destination IP address 25b. The method also includes generating, using the data plane model 164 , one or more simulated forwarding paths 80 for the data packet based on the packet header. Each simulated forwarding path includes corresponding network configuration information 162 . The method includes determining a reachability status of a target based on one or more simulated forwarding paths, and providing the determined reachability status and one or more simulated forwarding paths to a user device 10 associated with a reachability query. and the one or more simulated forwarding paths cause the user device to present network configuration information for each simulated forwarding path.
