Guadeloupe experienced a network connectivity degradation on July 9, 2026, lasting approximately 40 minutes. The disruption began at 05:00 UTC and concluded by 05:40 UTC, with the most significant impact observed on active network probing metrics.
Technical Details
The event recorded a severity score of 1,029. The primary affected metric was the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 network prefixes. This signal showed a drop in reachability of approximately 32% from its peak during the observation window.
Other network health indicators showed less pronounced deviations. The BGP control plane signal, which reflects routing advertisement visibility, remained stable. The gtr-norm signal, a forecast deviation from expected traffic baselines, showed a 54% drop from its peak. The merit-nt signal, a backscatter-based aggregate connectivity proxy, recorded a 27% decline.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 05:40 UTC.
