Georgia experienced a significant internet connectivity degradation on July 23, lasting approximately three hours. The disruption began at 20:10 UTC and concluded by 23:10 UTC, with the most severe impact observed on network reachability measurements.
Technical Details
The event recorded a severity score of 8,972. The primary affected metric was the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes. This signal showed a 77% drop from its peak value during the event.
Other signals also indicated disruptions. The gtr-norm signal, which tracks deviation from an expected traffic baseline, fell by 67%. The merit-nt signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity based on backscatter measurements, recorded a 97% drop. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane, which governs routing visibility for prefixes, remained stable with no observable drop.
Reported Cause
The cause of the disruption has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
