Evolution from NPM to IPM
- Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) shifts focus from device metrics to global end-user experience.
- IPM uses distributed vantage points to provide an outside-in view of application performance.
BGP Hijack Caused Outage Example
- A misconfigured BGP announcement caused a regional network outage by hijacking a prefix.
- Real-time BGP monitoring and traceroutes caught the anomaly before users reported issues.
Automate Monitoring with Automation
- Integrate monitoring with infrastructure automation to validate new instances immediately.
- Use automation to reduce operator toil and improve proactive observability of deployed services.
