Who is affected
Countries where UGARIT 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyprus resilience index: 88 · resilient |
1 of 14 cables (7% of submarine diversity) | Blue, CADMOS, CADMOS-2 +10 more | average 87 ms over the last day vs 97 ms over 30 days - unchanged |
| Syria resilience index: 45 · vulnerable |
1 of 5 cables (20% of submarine diversity) | Aletar, BERYTAR, Medusa Submarine Cable System +1 more | average 43 ms over the last day vs 63 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.
Timeline
- Alert 2026082501: warning - ratio 2.05x
- Alert #177 improving: 1/3 consecutive OK
- Alert #177 resolved: RTT 7.69ms (baseline 10.25ms), 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.
