Long-term history
Before our monitoring: IODA archive
15 incidents · 6 blackouts · 4 partial outagesOutages in Australia detected by IODA (Georgia Tech) between January 2022 and the start of our own monitoring: drops in the country's internet routes (BGP) or in its reachability from IODA's active probing, compared with the day before.
