Abstract
A routing system, method, and apparatus for determining the best path for a router to transmit traffic to a specific destination on a network. As desired, the routing determination can be based, at least in part, on an analysis of the network load and an analysis of the availability of links between the autonomous systems. The routing system can be used in conjunction with a detection system that identifies and eradicates fraudulent requests on the network. The detection system can include at least one router and an activity monitoring system, comprising a route arbiter and a traffic analyzer. The route arbiter continuously monitors activity on the router to determine if abnormal activity or traffic patterns are emerging. If a determination is made that abnormal activity or abnormal traffic patterns exist, the activity monitoring system responds by blocking the activity or redirecting the traffic.
