Guinea Experiences BGP Control Plane Disruption

Guinea experienced a significant disruption to its internet control plane visibility on Wednesday, July 9, 2026. The event began at approximately 12:05 UTC and lasted for over four hours. The primary impact was observed on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing information.

Technical Details

The disruption, which lasted 4.4 hours, recorded a severity score of 352. The affected bgp.median signal measures the stability of routing announcements for the country’s internet prefixes. A drop in this signal indicates reduced visibility of Guinea’s networks on the global routing table. During the event, the signal showed a 1% drop from its peak value. Other network health indicators, including active probing reachability and traffic volume forecasts, showed minimal deviation from normal baselines.

The cause has not been publicly attributed.

Connectivity was reported restored by 16:30 UTC.
