It is almost impossible to detect network incidents from inside a customer's network. Usually, ISPs monitor only their traffic and cannot observe the routes between other ISPs globally. For these purposes of global traffic monitoring and anomaly detection, one needs a specialized tool that works at a level of interdomain routing. Qrator.Radar is one of the largest BGP collectors in the world (counting the number of sessions and routing tables). Hundreds of ISPs worldwide provide Qrator Labs with data on all the available within routing tables networks.

Qrator Labs' in-house developed algorithms process received information and searches for any anomalies that could lead to the incidents. The essential part of this is supported by a mathematical model defining the relationship between autonomous systems. Qrator.Radar detects thousands of routing incidents globally every day. Information regarding the events connected to an anomalous change in the routing data is available to the customer in real-time. We usually use syslog, email, and the API to deliver notifications and integrate with customer services, other options also possible. Opportunity to get notices on BGP anomalies in real-time allows immediate reaction on the incident, mitigating possible adverse outcomes for business and ensuring better networking overall.
