Incident Investigation

Investigate Network Incidents With Greater Context

RouteMon helps network teams accelerate BGP troubleshooting, network path analysis and network outage investigation by bringing relevant routing, traffic and service information into one operational view. Understand what changed, where network behaviour shifted and whether critical services were affected.

The investigation challenge

Move beyondisolated network alerts

A single alert rarely explains an incident.

RouteMon provides a focused network incident investigation view that helps operations teams examine the relevant network conditions together.

Alerts from separate tools4 open
  • Routing

    A routing event may occur at the same time as a path change.

  • Traffic

    Traffic behaviour may shift.

  • Performance

    Latency or packet loss may increase.

  • Service

    A critical service may become degraded even while connectivity remains available.

Investigation capabilities

More evidencefor faster troubleshooting

Examine the network conditions that changed and identify where further investigation is required.

  • Evidence 01Attached

    BGP troubleshooting

    Investigate route changes, withdrawals, flapping, peer instability, prefix behaviour and convergence events.

  • Evidence 02Attached

    Network path analysis

    Understand path changes, alternate path usage, instability, reachability changes and path transitions.

  • Evidence 03Attached

    Outage investigation

    Review routing, traffic, path and service information around a connectivity failure.

  • Evidence 04Attached

    Traffic context

    Identify traffic shifts, changing distribution, utilization changes and destination-level changes.

  • Evidence 05Attached

    Service impact

    Review reachability, availability, latency, packet loss and customer-impacting conditions.

Event correlation

Investigate the incident fromone operational view

Review routing changes, traffic distribution and service degradation together to understand what changed, where impact appeared and what requires attention next.

How it works

From alertto investigation

Traditional monitoring often stops at ‘something changed.’ RouteMon helps teams continue the investigation.

  1. Q1

    What changed?

    Identify the network condition that changed.

  2. Q2

    Which route, peer or path?

    Focus the investigation on the routing entities involved.

  3. Q3

    Did traffic behaviour change?

    Review whether traffic distribution shifted.

  4. Q4

    Was reachability affected?

    Check the connectivity conditions around the incident.

  5. Q5

    Did a critical service degrade?

    Understand potential service impact.

  6. Q6Resolve

    What requires attention next?

    Use the combined evidence to guide further investigation.
