However, this did not happen due to the fact that the backup lines took over the functions of the main network trunks AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, TGN. Four cables were reported attacked, but since Seacom and TGN were one line, three were damaged.
Citing NetBlocks and Cloudflare services, the American publication The Register reported that the damage to the cables at the bottom of the Red Sea did not cause significant problems in the Network in any of the specified regions.
This was also announced by Alexey Slukin, editor of the Telegram channel Telekommunalka. “There are 17 main communication lines in the Red Sea region and only three were damaged, not four as claimed (Seacom and TGN are actually one line). These highways always have backup counterparts, or some of them are usually part of a ring that runs overland. “That is, the breakage of the listed lines did not lead to the collapse of the Internet, because the function of the damaged parts was taken over by the backup highways,” he said.
