| Abstract: | The 2022 Russian-Ukrainian conflict affected the Internet in these two countries, some services are unreachable or facing outages because of the damage to the infrastructure or boycotting. In this paper we quantified the degree to which the Internet was affected by analyzing Routing Tables from several Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). IXPs provide a central point of interconnection where internet traffic can be freely exchanged between Autonomous Systems (ASes). This centrality makes IXPs a good vantage point for analyzing changes in the network. With data collected before and after the start of the war we observed considerable damage to the Ukrainian Internet network with numerous outages and minor damage to the Russian network. We documented the biggest outages and the events responsible for them and offer a discussion regarding these results. |
