The route monitor observes the connections to the networks of different providers and establishes a backup connection in case of failure. The monitoring makes use of a trigger prefix, which providers supply in their routing protocol, for example with the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). As soon as a route to a provider's network becomes unavailable, the route monitor declares the relevant trigger prefix to be invalid for its network and opens a backup connection to the provider's network.
