Timor-Leste experienced a Border Gateway Protocol disruption on Friday, July 18, 2026, affecting control plane visibility for its internet prefixes. The event began at 10:45 UTC and lasted for approximately 1.8 hours, concluding by 12:30 UTC.
Technical Details
The disruption was characterized by a degradation in the BGP signal, which measures the stability and visibility of internet routing announcements. The signal recorded a severity score of 183 during the event. The BGP median value dropped by 2% from its peak, averaging 114.55 across 73 measurement points.
Other network signals showed less pronounced deviations. The ping-slash24 metric, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes, saw a 9% drop from its peak. The gtr-norm signal, a forecast deviation from an expected traffic baseline, recorded a more significant 66% drop from its peak value.
The cause has not been publicly attributed. Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
