## AI overview

This article examines Bangladesh's July 2024 internet shutdown through public BGP routing data and firsthand observations from one affected network. It compares operator experiences with measurements from RIPE RIS, Cloudflare Radar, IODA, and OONI, while explaining what the data can and cannot establish about the event.

## Source excerpt

When Bangladesh vanished from the global routing table in July 2024, public routing data captured the event as it unfolded. Drawing on first-hand observations from inside one affected network, this article explores what that data can and cannot tell us.
