It doesn’t happen often that a country with hundreds of prefixes is affected by a massive outage, however earlier today this unfortunately happened to Azerbaijan. Starting at 12:04 UTC approximately 94% of the prefixes out of Azerbaijan became unreachable.
The event was reported on @bgpstream and details plus a replay can be found here: https://bgpstream.com/event/7981
The image below shows the impact on traffic from Azerbaijan to OpenDNS. It’s clear that almost all of the traffic from Azerbaijan disappeared at the time of outage.

“However, transmission channels to Georgia, Iran, and the Middle East were working at full capacity,” noted Mammadov.

Interesting to see it downplayed, and good that services like BGPmon give a numerical indication of what happened.
