Evaluating Internet Resilience Under Simulated Regional Disruption Using RIPE Atlas

This project examines the impact of simulated regional network disruptions on Internet performance using real-world measurement data. The goal is to understand how large-scale events can influence Internet connectivity and routing dynamics, and to evaluate the resilience of Internet infrastructure under stress.

Network Resilience Event Analysis

This project analyzes the impact of various network disruption events on Internet infrastructure, including natural disasters, submarine cable cuts, and geopolitical conflicts.
