Who is affected
Countries where Proa 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 |
| Japan resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 52 cables (2% of submarine diversity) | 5 Villages 6 Islands, APCN-2, Apricot +48 more | median 186 ms today vs 250 ms over 30 days (70 routes) - faster |
| 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 |
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.

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.
