| Severity | warning |
Path analysis
Traffic changed route while latency was elevated. A reroute of this kind usually follows a fault somewhere on the original path.
Cross-probe verdict. Our own cross-check concluded this was an operator reroute, not a cable fault. We publish it anyway, labelled as such.

Detection method
Latency is sampled continuously from our probe network. An alert opens when round-trip time to a monitored endpoint holds above its rolling baseline, and closes automatically once it returns. Full method is described on the methodology page.
