Greece experienced a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane disruption on Tuesday, July 29, 2026. The event began at 05:40 UTC and lasted for approximately 2.8 hours, concluding by 08:30 UTC. The primary technical impact was a reduction in the visibility of network prefixes across the global routing system.
Technical Details
The disruption registered a severity score of 194. The affected BGP signal measures the control plane visibility of a country’s internet protocol prefixes. Other network health indicators, including active probing reachability (ping-slash24) and traffic volume (gtr), showed minimal deviation during the event window. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
The disruption was resolved by the end of the observation period.
