This post details how Cloudflare's global network and routing analysis capabilities were applied to track an internet outage and a shift in routing control in Kherson, Ukraine, during a conflict. It demonstrates the network's ability to observe and adapt to geopolitical disruptions, rerouting traffic to different data centers (e.g., Moscow) in response to upstream provider changes, and then reverting as connectivity was restored through local networks. This highlights the network's resilience and the importance of real-time monitoring in dynamic and challenging environments.
