Extra alert information for the "New Upstream or Downstream" alert
This alert type is triggered when a new (in the last few hours) relationship between your AS and another AS is observed.
Relationships can either be upstreams or downstreams, A “upstream” is generally an entity who provides you connectivity, and a downstream is generally considered a customer of yours.
