PingER calculates the throughput of different nodes from the Round Trip Time (RTT) and loss using the Mathis formula. It is interesting to see the effect on throughput of the regions suffered from fibre outage. Below is the table which gives us insight on the throughput of countries affected by this outage.
Countries | Throughput before (kbits/s) | Throughput after (kbits/s) | Sites affected / total |
UAE | 1200 | 21 | 1/1 |
Bahrain | 800 | 23 | 2/2 |
Jordan | 500 | 30 | 3/4 |
Oman | 125 | 18 | 1/1 |
Saudi Arabia | 800 | 30 | 2/3 |
Bangladesh | 400 | 35 | 2/2 |
India | 800 | 38 | 2/8 |
The above table shows the average of throughput before and after the start of the fibre outage. The results clearly show order of magnitude reductions in throughput.
