Resilient Internet connectivity in Europe mitigates impact from multiple cable cuts

What this post added

This post details how Cloudflare's global network infrastructure, particularly in Europe, demonstrated resilience against multiple submarine cable cuts. It analyzes traffic volume indicators, internet quality metrics (bandwidth and latency), and BGP announcements for Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, and Germany. The analysis shows minimal to no observable impact on traffic and quality, attributing this to the significant redundancy and alternative routing paths available through multiple submarine cables and terrestrial fiber networks in the region. The post uses Cloudflare Radar data to illustrate these findings and references existing submarine cable maps and network provider maps to support the claims of infrastructure resilience.
