Network Upstream Provider Intelligence

Understand your network's upstream. See which providers feed traffic to your ASN instantly.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

ASN Extended Receiving From Info API

Tool to return upstream providers (receivingfrom) for a given asn. use when you need a paginated list of ases feeding traffic for the specified asn.

Why this helps

Network engineer investigating BGP issues doesn't know upstream providers. Manual lookups distract from diagnosing routing problems.

  • See upstream providers feeding traffic to your ASN
  • Understand network dependencies and routing hierarchy
  • Identify single points of failure in upstream connectivity
  • Speed up BGP troubleshooting with upstream context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear workspace and Big Data Cloud ASN analysis APIs to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When someone comments with an ASN on a network issue, retrieve all upstream providers (receiving-from ASes) and list them.'
  • 3Select 'Comment Received' as your trigger.
  • 4Set Notis to reply with upstream provider list in the same thread.
  • 5Test by commenting on a network issue with your ASN or a known public ASN and verify upstream providers list appears.

Questions about this workflow

What does 'receiving-from' mean?

Receiving-from ASes are upstream providers that feed traffic to your ASN. They're higher in the routing hierarchy.

How many upstream providers do networks typically have?

Usually 2-5 for redundancy. Having only one upstream is a single point of failure.

Can we use this to optimize routing?

Yes. Understanding upstream providers helps you choose which providers to use and which routes to prefer via BGP policy.
