The British Virgin Islands experienced a prolonged connectivity disruption beginning on July 31, with a significant degradation in network control plane visibility lasting for nearly seven days. The disruption was observed from 09:15 UTC on July 31 until 00:30 UTC on August 7, affecting the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal.
Technical Details
The disruption recorded a severity score of 18,985. The primary affected signal was BGP, which measures the control plane visibility and routing stability for internet prefixes. The BGP signal showed a consistent reduction in observed routes for the duration of the event. Other network health indicators, including active probing for IPv4 reachability and traffic volume forecasts, showed minor fluctuations but no sustained, severe degradation matching the BGP anomaly.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Network control plane visibility was reported restored by the end of the observation window.
