Network Path Monitoring

See Exactly Where Your Traffic Slows Down

Atatus continuously probes every network hop between your services. When something degrades, you see exactly which hop is responsible, not just that something is wrong.

Every Hop

Per-hop latency, jitter, and packet loss

<10ms

Probe resolution for path measurements

Real-time

Path topology map with live health status

No agents

Works across cloud, WAN, and on-premises

Capabilities

Everything in Network Path Monitoring

Visual Path Topology

Real-time topology map of every router and segment from source to destination, color-coded by health status.

Per-Hop Latency Breakdown

RTT measured at every intermediate hop — isolate whether slowdowns are in cloud, WAN, or on-premises.

Packet Loss Detection

Sub-1% packet loss caught per hop before TCP retransmissions and application timeouts surface."

Path Change Detection

Automatic detection of BGP rerouting and ECMP failover with before/after path diffs.

Historical Path Replay

Replay hop-by-hop latency from any point in time to understand root cause after an incident.

Smart Alerting

Threshold-based alerts on per-hop latency, end-to-end RTT, or packet loss — routed to PagerDuty or Slack.

Why Atatus

Everything your network team needs, in one place

Traceroute-based probing at every hop, continuously
Network Path Monitoring

Traceroute-based probing at every hop, continuously

Atatus uses lightweight ICMP/UDP probes to map every network hop between your services in real time — measuring per-hop latency, jitter, and packet loss across cloud, WAN, and on-premises infrastructure. When your application slows down, you'll know exactly which hop is responsible.

Know exactly which hop is adding latency
Per-Hop Visibility

Know exactly which hop is adding latency

Standard monitoring tells you the connection is slow. Atatus tells you it's hop 3 — the WAN edge router — adding 38ms above baseline. Every intermediate router between source and destination is measured individually, so you stop guessing and start fixing

  • Measure RTT at every individual hop along the full path
  • Identify whether slowdowns originate in cloud VPC, WAN, or on-premises
  • View min, avg, and max latency per hop across any time window
  • Surface anomalous hops automatically with baseline deviation alerts
Visualize your network topology in real time
Path Map

Visualize your network topology in real time

The Atatus Path Map renders a live topology of every active path across your infrastructure. Color-coded nodes show health at a glance — green for healthy, yellow for degraded, red for dropping packets — so your team can immediately see what's affected and where.

  • Auto-detect path changes caused by BGP rerouting or ECMP failover
  • Compare path topologies before and after an incident with historical replay
  • Click any node to drill into that hop's latency and loss history
Use Cases

Built for the hardest network problems

BGP Rerouting & Path Changes

Your ISP silently reroutes traffic through a longer path after maintenance. Atatus detects the topology change in real time and quantifies the latency impact.

Cloud Migration Validation

Baseline network performance before migration and continuously validate after — verifying cloud-based routes perform as expected for every dependent service.

Hybrid Cloud Connectivity

Track the full path across cloud, WAN, and on-premises fabric for applications spanning Direct Connect or VPN.

Intermittent Packet Loss

Prove a router dropped 3% of packets at 2 AM — even after it self-recovered — using continuous historical probe data.

Incident Root Cause Analysis

Replay the exact path topology from the moment a P1 incident started. Was it a routing change or a congested peering point? Answer in minutes.
