Technical Details

The event registered a severity score of 1,254,388. The primary affected signal was ping-slash24, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 network prefixes, recording a severity score of 4,295 and a 40% drop from its peak value. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which reflects control plane visibility for network prefixes, also showed a degradation with a severity score of 292 and a 2% drop from its peak.

Other signals showed notable deviations. The gtr-norm signal, a normalized measure of traffic volume, dropped 78% from its peak. The merit-nt signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity based on backscatter measurements, recorded a 96% drop from its peak.

Reported Cause

The cause has not been publicly attributed.

Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation window.
