Russian providers will redirect their Internet traffic through Asia Russian providers will redirect their Internet traffic through Asia if they are disconnected from international exchange points in Europe, Maksut Shadayev announced. "We have a plan B: through the other side, in the event of a complete shutdown of Russian operators in Europe from international traffic exchange points, redirect traffic through Asia. Rostelecom, as the main backbone operator, has such a plan," the minister said. Shutdown, if it happens, will not affect the quality of services: Rostelecom, as the main industrial operator, Shadayev emphasized, has such opportunities for redistributing traffic.
According to him, there have already been “one or two precedents” for disconnecting Russian operators from international traffic exchange points, but now traffic exchange points for Russian providers operate in the European direction.
In March, representatives of the ministry assessed the possibility of disconnecting Russia from the global Internet and stated that there were no such plans. Thus, the department commented on the telegrams of the government for state bodies, which set out recommendations on cyber hygiene. They should help protect against malicious traffic, keep services running, and control domain names.
As we reported earlier, rumors of degradation of Russian Internet services have been greatly exaggerated, despite the recent unprecedented claims by the world's two largest backbone providers that they are leaving the country after its invasion of Ukraine.
