About this tag
The tag rtt covers discussions about network latency and routing disruptions caused by undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea. Multiple threads detail how simultaneous faults near Jeddah affected major trunk systems linking Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, forcing cloud providers and carriers to reroute traffic. Microsoft Azure experienced higher-than-normal latency and intermittent packet loss, prompting rapid routing work and capacity rebalancing. The content explores the fragility of global cloud connectivity, the strategic importance of the Red Sea chokepoint, and mitigation strategies for cloud teams. Recurring themes include submarine fiber-optic cable failures, Azure service health, traffic rerouting, and the broader impact on internet performance across South Asia and the Gulf.
A concentrated cluster of undersea cable failures in the Red Sea has throttled internet performance across South Asia and the Gulf, forcing cloud providers and carriers to reroute traffic and leaving businesses and consumers to contend with higher latency, intermittent packet loss, and slower...
