    obtaining, by the first server and based on monitoring the plurality of packets, traffic metrics associated with the plurality of packets with respect to one or more network layers;

    detecting, by the first server, an anomaly associated with the plurality of packets based on a portion of the traffic metrics associated with at least one network layer of the one or more network layers;

    sending, by the first server and to a second server associated with the service provider network, a request for one or more packets, of the plurality of packets, that correspond to the anomaly;

    receiving, by the first server and from the second server, copies of the one or more packets after the second server generates the copies of the one or more packets by replicating the one or more packets based on the request,the one or more packets being transmitted to a destination device by the second server;

    analyzing, by the first server, each packet, of the copies of the one or more packets, to obtain information associated with the anomaly; and
