British Virgin Islands experienced a significant connectivity disruption affecting its control plane visibility for nearly five days. The event began on July 31 and concluded on August 5, with a severity score of 13,263 recorded on the BGP signal.
Technical Details
The disruption lasted approximately 4.6 days, from July 31 at 09:15 UTC to August 5 at 00:30 UTC. The primary affected metric was the BGP median signal, which measures control plane visibility for internet prefixes. The severity score for this signal reached 13,263. Other measurements showed a 34% drop from peak in normalized traffic volume and a 100% drop in backscatter measurements, a proxy for aggregate connectivity. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored at the end of the observation period.
