Root Cause Generator

Instant Identification of the "Where" & "Why" a Network Path Is Failing

Turns complex path telemetry into a clear, ranked explanation of what broke, where it broke, and why — without war rooms, spreadsheets, or guesswork.

The Challenge

The Problem with Traditional Monitoring

Teams receive dozens of alerts but no explanation

Engineers manually correlate latency, loss, routing, and congestion

Dashboards show symptoms but can't pinpoint the exact hop or direction at fault

Engineers are forced into war rooms while MTTR continues to climb

Blind spots in the digital supply chain cause recurring, unresolved incidents

The Impact

Traditional Monitoring Fails

Alerts without context
73%
Manual correlation time
4.2hrs
Recurring incidents
62%
Avg. MTTR↑ 47%

MTTR continues to climb with traditional tools

Result: High MTTR and frustrated teams

How It Works

How Root Cause Generator Works

STEP 01

Unified Path Intelligence

Analyzes PRI, PSS, CI / PCI, MRR, and ARI together across time windows

STEP 02

Normalized Signals

Converts raw telemetry into business-meaningful, comparable signals

STEP 03

Stability Windows

Separates transient noise from persistent degradation

STEP 04

Bidirectional Isolation

Determines whether failures originate in the forward or reverse path

AI then generates a human-readable explanation identifying the exact failure point — whether it's an ISP node, routing loop, congestion event, or MTU mismatch.
