Armenia Experiences Brief BGP Disruption in Early Morning Hours

Armenia experienced a brief but notable degradation in internet connectivity early on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. The disruption, which primarily affected the network’s control plane, lasted approximately 40 minutes, starting around 03:05 UTC. The event was characterized by a significant drop in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) visibility.

Technical Details

The disruption registered a severity score of 108. The primary affected signal was the BGP median, which measures the control plane visibility of internet routing prefixes. This signal recorded a drop of approximately 3% from its peak during the observation window. Other network telemetry signals, including active probing for IPv4 reachability and traffic volume measurements, showed minor concurrent fluctuations but were not the main indicators of the event. The cause has not been publicly attributed.

Connectivity was reported restored by 03:45 UTC.
