Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), like Fastly, distribute traffic across the Internet for better reliability and load distribution. CDNs need to identify significant changes in external routing posture to better balance their traffic. We designed and developed MIRA (Monitoring Internet Routing Anomalies) to analyze public routing data and identify when large influxes of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) updates occur during a short period of time, indicating a significant route change. MIRA provides a comprehensive view on routing patterns for each user-specified subscription by graphing the number of incoming messages per minute, determining anomalies, and displaying every message associated with the anomalies. MIRA also keeps historical data to better identify anomaly patterns.
