KAFOS

KAFOS is a cross-regional submarine cable connecting Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria. Its 4 landing points at Igneada, Istanbul, Mangalia, Varna bridge the networks of Turkey, Europe, providing an important path for international data traffic. As an intercontinental system, KAFOS plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. Real-time monitoring by GeoCables compares current latency measurements from RIPE Atlas probes against baseline data to identify anomalies on this cable route.
