Timor-Leste Experiences Brief BGP Disruption

Timor-Leste experienced a brief but distinct disruption to its internet control plane on July 26, 2026. The event, affecting Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) visibility, lasted approximately 15 minutes starting at 19:20 UTC.

Technical Details

The disruption recorded a severity score of 26, with the primary impact observed on the BGP signal. This signal measures the control plane visibility for internet routing prefixes. The event window showed a 2% drop in the median BGP visibility metric from its peak.

Other measurement signals showed less pronounced deviations. The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes, recorded a 12% drop. The gtr-norm signal, a forecast deviation from an expected traffic baseline, showed a more significant 64% drop from its peak during the observation period.

Reported Cause

The cause has not been publicly attributed.

Connectivity was reported restored by 19:35 UTC.
