   On Sunday 17 November, the BSC East-West Interlink Internet cable   
   connection between Sweden and Lithuania stopped working. The following   
   day, the C-Lion1 Internet cable connecting Finland with Germany was also   
   cut. Investigation into what could have caused these two cables - which   
   literally cross one another in their paths across the Baltic Sea - to   
   have been severed within such a short interval is still ongoing as we   
   write this. But as we turn to RIPE Atlas to measure the impact these   
   events had on the Internet, the question we really want to ask here is   
   whether the Internet managed to route around the damage done.   
   ...   
      
   quick summary at the top:   
      
   Event 		Countries 		Paths with signif 	Signif packet   
   					latency changes		loss detected   
   BCS cut 	Sweden - Lithuania 	20% 				no   
   C-Lion1 cut 	Finland - Germany 	30% 				no   
      
   ...   
      
   Lots of good analysis.
