Automated Detection and Alerting for Asymmetric (Forward/Reverse) Path Routing

NetBrain can visualize a forward path and a reverse path between endpoints, but it does not provide a way to programmatically compare the two paths or determine whether the route is asymmetric. As a result, customers experiencing asymmetric routing issues have no automated way to identify this condition or receive proactive notification when it occurs. This enhancement would introduce distinct forward and reverse path variables, along with the ability to compare devices across the two paths, and would generate an alert when the forward and reverse paths diverge. Automated detection and notification of asymmetric routing would reduce the manual effort required to identify routing inconsistencies and would help customers resolve related application performance and connectivity issues more quickly.
