Cote D’Ivoire experienced a connectivity disruption on Monday, July 14, affecting internet reachability for over an hour. The event began at 23:20 UTC and concluded by 00:30 UTC on July 15. The primary impact was observed in active network probing data, which showed a significant drop in reachable prefixes.
Technical Details
The disruption recorded a severity score of 1,465. The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 network prefixes, showed a 16% drop from its peak value during the event. The Merit Network Telescope (merit-nt) signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity based on backscatter traffic, recorded a more pronounced 66% drop. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane visibility remained stable, showing no significant withdrawal of advertised routes. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation window.
