Who is affected
Countries where TPU comes ashore, how much of their submarine diversity this cable represents, and what our measurements into them show.
| Country | Dependence on this cable | Other submarine cables | What the measurements show |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guam resilience index: 83 · resilient |
1 of 18 cables (6% of submarine diversity) | Apricot, Asia Connect Cable-1 (ACC-1), Atisa +14 more | median 299 ms today vs 305 ms over 30 days (24 routes) - unchanged |
| Northern Mariana Islands resilience index: 69 · moderate |
1 of 6 cables (17% of submarine diversity) | Atisa, Bulikula, Halaihai +2 more | average 3 ms over the last day vs 108 ms over 30 days - faster |
| Philippines resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 25 cables (4% of submarine diversity) | APCN-2, Apricot, Asia Connect Cable-1 (ACC-1) +21 more | median 275 ms today vs 273 ms over 30 days (24 routes) - unchanged |
| Taiwan resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 21 cables (5% of submarine diversity) | APCN-2, Apricot, Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) +17 more | no measurement today; median 327 ms over 30 days (1 routes) |
| United States resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 119 cables (1% of submarine diversity) | ACS Alaska-Oregon Network (AKORN), AEC-1, Airraq +115 more | median 88 ms today vs 115 ms over 30 days (290 routes) - faster |
Dependence is structural (share of the country's submarine cables), not a traffic share: real traffic distribution across cables is not public.
Path analysis
No usable traceroute data for this window.
Cross-probe verdict. Too few independent vantage points were watching this endpoint to reach a cross-probe verdict.
Timeline
- Alert #28: warning - Eureka
- Alert #28 improving: 1/3 consecutive OK checks
- Alert #28 improving: 2/3 consecutive OK checks
- Alert #28 resolved: RTT 44.32ms (baseline 47.59ms)
Detection method
Latency is sampled continuously from our probe network. An alert opens when round-trip time to a monitored endpoint holds above its rolling baseline, and closes automatically once it returns. Full method is described on the methodology page.
