Abstract: An alert system and method are provided to identify and characterize real-time information transmission anomalies in high-frequency global and local traceroute data. The system includes active network sensors and/or collector devices, which collect traceroute data associated with transmissions to different points in a computer network and provide the traceroute data to a master server. The traceroute data is obtained by the active network sensors by sending probing data packets to numerous computing target devices located locally with respect to the target device and/or globally. The master server determines one or more anomalies from the received traceroute data and characterizes the anomaly in terms of type, severity, location, affected Domain Name System (DNS) server and/or Internet Service Provider (ISP).
