Who is affected
Countries where Ionian 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greece resilience index: 97 · resilient |
1 of 21 cables (5% of submarine diversity) | 2Africa, Adria-1, ANDROMEDA +17 more | median 90 ms today vs 91 ms over 30 days (6 routes) - unchanged |
| Italy resilience index: 97 · resilient |
1 of 38 cables (3% of submarine diversity) | 2Africa, ANDROMEDA, Asia Africa Europe-1 (AAE-1) +34 more | median 68 ms today vs 72 ms over 30 days (19 routes) - unchanged |
Dependence is structural (share of the country's submarine cables), not a traffic share: real traffic distribution across cables is not public.

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.
