I was so warmly welcomed at my first IODA conference, and knew I had found a home when I heard someone say ‘we are united by our differences’.
- Suzanne Zaldivar, USA

At the world conference in Mozambique the workshops were so powerful and loaded. The plenary sessions were so unique, in the sense that they were structured to be interactive and participatory.

What is the magic cocktail of the IODA community? It is simply the people. During exceptional conversations people shared their passion, their perspective and their real presence with me.
- Zita Falatovics, Hungary

In 2009 my consulting firm sent me for business to India. IODA happened to have its 24th World Conference in Hyderabad while I was there. What I found was an extremely friendly and open network of professionals in my field who are interested in sharing their experiences and knowledge. [...]

O.D. work involves keeping the whole system in mind, and so it is appropriate that IODA is a space where I can keep the whole world in mind as I meet and learn within this international community of communities. [...]
- Rod Barnett, Australia

I fell in love with the IODA community during its South African World Conference in Cape Town in 1993. I felt instantly that this connection would be with me forever.
- Ulla Nagel, Germany

As an US-based member, IODA clearly shows me the range and power of global OD principles and practices. Most important, though, I now belong to an open, welcoming community of global colleagues who continue to show me the true purpose of our work.

IODA monitors the Internet in near-realtime to identify macroscopic Internet outages affecting the edge of the network, i.e., significantly impacting a network operator (AS) or a large fraction of a country.

Interactive Interfaces

Visualizations and alerts showing country-, region-, and AS-level outages detected by IODA.

Advanced interface for exploratory analysis of all time series data generated by IODA. Allows researchers to build custom visualizations by composing time series together using specialized post-processing functions. (Requires an account)

Example Outages

Syria, Jun 2020 (Exam-related)

Government-ordered Internet shutdowns in conjunction with national exams have been occurring in Syria for several years. These shutdowns disconnect most of the country from the rest of the Internet. In this example from June 2020, IODA's data and visualizations clearly show the pattern of these outages.

West Africa, Jan 2020 (Cable cut)

On January 16 2020, undersea cable infrastructure problems severely disrupted Internet connectivity in several West African countries. IODA detected significant outages affecting the Republic of Congo, Namibia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola during this time.

Iran, Nov 2019 (Government-mandated)

Amid widespread protests against the government, on November 16 2019, Iran experienced one of the most severe government-ordered Internet outages. This detailed analysis shows how most Iranian users were affected for nearly a week. Amnesty International used IODA's data in an investigation correlating this Internet shutdown with the killing of hundreds of Iranians.

COOL-IDEAS (AS 37680), Sep 2019 (DDoS attack)

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) amplification attack leveraging the DNS and CLDAP protocols and using the 'carpet bombing' approach resulted in a multi-hour Internet outage for South Africa's largest Internet service provider on September 21 2019.

China, May 2019

On May 13 2019, IODA detected a significant Internet outage affecting China that began at 7:30 PM UTC and continued for several hours. The outage was reported by several sources, including ThousandEyes and InternetIntelligence but its cause remains unclear.

Venezuela, Mar 2019 (Power outage)

In March 2019, Venezuela was affected by several power outages. IODA's data also shows the cascading failures affecting the power grid as repeated efforts at restoration obtained temporary success.

CenturyLink (AS209), Dec 2018 (Network misconfiguration)

In late December 2018, IODA detected a large-scale Internet outage affecting CenturyLink, a major residential Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the U.S. The outage lasted for more than a day and reportedly affected millions of users and was caused by 'malformed management packets', according to an FCC report.

Iraq, Oct 2016 (Exam-related)

In the first week of October 2016, IODA detected nearly daily outages that significantly affected Iraqi Internet connectivity.

Gabon, Sep 2016 (Government-mandated)

In early September 2016, IODA detected daily outages in Gabon that significantly affected Internet connectivity. These outages were widely reported (e.g., by CNN, Cloudflare, Akamai, etc.) and were 'initially imposed amid clashes between opposition protesters and security forces following the announcement that incumbent President Ali Bongo had won reelection by a slim margin'.

Methodology

IODA combines information from three data sources, establishes the relevance of an event and generates alerts. The outage events and the corresponding signals obtained through automated analysis are displayed on dashboards and interactive graphs that allow the user to further inspect the data.
