Niue experienced a brief disruption to its internet connectivity early Wednesday, primarily affecting the network’s control plane visibility. The event began at 02:05 UTC on August 5 and lasted for one hour.
Technical Details
The disruption recorded a severity score of 857. The primary affected signal was the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) median, which measures the control plane visibility of the country’s network prefixes. The signal showed a 14% drop from its peak value during the observation period. Other network reachability metrics, including active probing across IPv4 prefixes, showed minimal deviation.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 03:05 UTC.
