Honduras experienced a brief disruption to its internet routing control plane on July 24, 2026. The event lasted approximately one hour, centered around 20:35 UTC, and primarily impacted the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Technical Details
The disruption occurred between 20:35 and 21:40 UTC. The primary affected metric was the BGP control plane, which registered a severity score of 868. BGP is the protocol used to exchange routing information between networks, and disruptions can affect the visibility of network prefixes across the global internet.
Other network health indicators showed less pronounced deviations. The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 address blocks, recorded a minor drop of 8% from its peak. The Merit Network Telescope (merit-nt) backscatter measurement, a proxy for overall network activity, saw a 34% decline from its peak during the observation window.
The disruption remained ongoing at last observation.
