Belize Connectivity Disruption Lasted Nearly 10 Days
Belize experienced a significant connectivity disruption that began on June 18 and lasted for nearly ten days. The event was characterized by a severe degradation in network reachability, with a severity score of 403,592 recorded. The disruption concluded by 00:30 UTC on June 28.
Technical Details
The primary affected signal was ping-slash24, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 network prefixes. The severity score of 403,592 reflects the depth of the reachability issue. The disruption persisted for 9.8 days, from June 18 at 06:20 UTC to June 28 at 00:30 UTC.
Other network signals showed varied impacts. The gtr signal, a forecast deviation from expected traffic baseline, recorded a 28% drop from its peak. The merit-nt signal, an aggregate connectivity proxy based on backscatter measurements, showed a more pronounced drop of 79% from its peak. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane signal, which tracks prefix visibility, remained stable throughout the event.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation window.
