Who is affected
Countries where IOEMA-1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denmark resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 33 cables (3% of submarine diversity) | Aurora, Baltica, CANTAT-3 +29 more | median 68 ms today vs 62 ms over 30 days (11 routes) - unchanged |
| Germany resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 11 cables (9% of submarine diversity) | Atlantic Crossing-1 (AC-1), C-Lion1, Elektra-GlobalConnect 1 (GC1) +7 more | median 54 ms today vs 55 ms over 30 days (163 routes) - unchanged |
| Netherlands resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 12 cables (8% of submarine diversity) | Amerigo Vespucci, Atlantic Crossing-1 (AC-1), Circe North +8 more | median 47 ms today vs 65 ms over 30 days (89 routes) - faster |
| Norway resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 19 cables (5% of submarine diversity) | Arctic Way, Bodo-Rost Cable, Eviny Digital +15 more | average 87 ms over the last day vs 77 ms over 30 days - unchanged |
| United Kingdom resilience index: 97 · resilient |
1 of 67 cables (1% of submarine diversity) | 2Africa, Amitie, Apollo +63 more | median 82 ms today vs 69 ms over 30 days (102 routes) - slower |
Dependence is structural (share of the country's submarine cables), not a traffic share: real traffic distribution across cables is not public.
Path analysis
Traffic kept the same route. Latency rose without a visible path change, which points at congestion or a fault on the existing route rather than a reroute.
Cross-probe verdict. Only one probe saw it. We treat this as a probable false positive and label it as such.

- Alert #140 resolved: RTT 43.3ms (baseline 48.8ms), 3 consecutive OK
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.
