On/around 27th May 2024, the traffic from Azerbaijan to www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk reduced by over 80%.
Looking at our data, I can see that the vast majority of traffic in Azerbaijan comes from AS29049 (Delta Telecom) which is their majority ISP according to Wikipedia.
OONI says tests were passing as recently as 28th May from AS29049 but there's definitely something going on...Unsure exactly what.
(the gap in AS29049 is a GeoIP data migration)

Graph showing the daily total requests by Network AS. This shows a corresponsing drop, mainly on AS29049, Delta Telecom
OONI (ooni.org) data showing passing tests from AS29049 to www.bbc.com over the last month, all tests are passing but there are none since the 28th May

Ever wonder what went into the "multi-dc" project to make Wikimedia wikis use both the primary and secondary datacenters at the same time? A new techblog post by Aaron Schulz walks though the project at a high level. https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2023/05/08/around-the-world-how-wikipedia-became-a-multi-datacenter-deployment/ #wikimedia #wikipedia #wikitech
