The British Virgin Islands experienced a disruption in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) visibility on July 31, 2026. The event began at 09:15 UTC and lasted for approximately 3.3 hours, concluding by 12:30 UTC. The disruption was characterized by a reduction in the median number of visible BGP routes.
Technical Details
The event recorded a severity score of 389. The primary affected signal was the BGP median route count, which measures control plane visibility for internet prefixes. This signal showed a 2% drop from its peak value during the observation window.
Other network signals showed less significant deviations. ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes, measured by the ping-slash24 signal, showed a 7% drop. Traffic volume, as measured by the gtr-norm signal, showed a more substantial 65% deviation from its expected baseline forecast.
The cause has not been publicly attributed. The disruption was resolved by the end of the observation period.
