BGP Monitoring

What is BGP Monitoring?

BGP monitoring is the process of observing and analyzing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) announcements and routes to detect anomalies such as BGP hijacks, route leaks, and bogons. Qrator.Radar offers one of the most advanced BGP monitoring solution with real-time data collection, incident detection, and global visibility.

What is Qrator.Radar?

Qrator.Radar is a specialized BGP monitoring platform designed to detect network anomalies that can affect global routing quality, service availability and also cause security threats.

Why do organizations need Qrator.Radar?

Organizations need Qrator.Radar because it's nearly impossible to detect global routing incidents from within a customer's network alone. Our system provides visibility into interdomain routing issues that could affect service availability and network performance across different regions and providers.

How does Qrator.Radar work?

Our system collects and analyzes routing data from hundreds of ISPs globally, processing this information through unique mathematical algorithms to identify potential issues. When a problem is detected, it generates detailed reports and alerts customers within minutes through various channels like email, syslog, or API notifications.

How quickly does Qrator.Radar alert about issues?

Our system processes routing data and alerts customers on average within a minute of the routes appearing at our observation points.

Can Qrator.Radar integrate with existing monitoring systems?

Yes, Qrator.Radar supports seamless integration with other network monitoring systems through multiple channels including syslog, email notifications, and API. This allows organizations to incorporate Radar's data into their existing infrastructure management tools.

What types of incidents can Qrator.Radar detect?

Our system monitors for three primary types of routing incidents: hijacks, route leaks and bogons. It also continuously monitors changes in relations between autonomous systems, helping organizations maintain optimal network connectivity and identify potential issues early.

What is BGP Hijack?

BGP Hijacking is an illegitimate prefix announcement by a malicious or misconfigured Autonomous System.
