Several public sources

  • NetBlocks y los operadores informan de un servicio degradado; se producen picos de latencia a medida que el tráfico se desvía a rutas más largas.
  • Microsoft señala mayores retrasos en Azure; las reparaciones en el mar podrían tardar semanas, dependiendo de los permisos y del clima.

Qué sucedió: múltiples fibras cortadas; el tráfico se desvía por rutas alternativas

Varios sistemas submarinos del mar Rojo resultaron dañados, lo que llevó a los operadores a mover el tráfico a rutas alternativas y ralentizó los servicios desde el sur de Asia hasta el Golfo. Los grupos de monitoreo señalaron problemas cerca de Arabia Saudita, con una interrupción parcial del servicio mantenida mediante desvíos en lugar de cortes totales.

Reuters informó de las alertas de NetBlocks y señaló impactos en la nube en India, Pakistán y los EAU. DataCenterDynamics identificó los sistemas afectados, incluidos SEA-ME-WE 4, IMEWE y FALCON. Por su parte, Microsoft advirtió de una latencia añadida en las rutas de Azure a través de la región mientras se reequilibraba el tráfico.

Por qué es importante

Los analistas destacan el ángulo de seguridad. Los recientes incidentes de navegación y los arrastres accidentales de anclas subrayan lo frágiles que siguen siendo estos puntos de estrangulamiento submarinos. Construir resiliencia tiene menos que ver con promesas que con añadir diversidad de rutas y acelerar las reparaciones. Los gobiernos y los operadores podrían invertir en nuevos trazados —desde estaciones de amarre mediterráneas hasta corredores árticos— y buscar aprobaciones más ágiles para los buques de reparación.

La resiliencia dependerá de la diversidad de rutas y de ciclos de reparación más rápidos. Los operadores y los responsables políticos podrían replantearse la inversión en rutas alternativas —amarres mediterráneos, enlaces terrestres transfronterizos o rutas árticas— junto con un mejor acceso para los buques de reparación. Si el clima o los permisos retrasan los trabajos de empalme, el rendimiento degradado podría persistir durante semanas. Ver también: Alejandro Manzo.
