Abstract: Techniques are described for predicting a wide area network (WAN) issue based on detection of service provider connection swapping. A cloud-based network management system (NMS) obtains connection event data for one or more network access server (NAS) devices at a site, where each event included in the connection event data comprises a connection or disconnection event of a connection session provided by a service provider. The NMS detects a number of connection swaps in the connection event data over a time window, where a connection swap includes a change from a first connection session provided by a first service provider to a second connection session provided by a second service provider. Based on the detected number of connection swaps satisfying a threshold, the NMS predicts a root cause of the connection swaps as a WAN issue and generates a notification of the predicted root cause of the connection swaps.
