The blocking of the Internet continues intermittently in Libya, four days after the first cut on the night of Friday to Saturday, the authorities pursue a policy of intermittent power outages, which seems to obey no logic. Network access to sites and Libya had been cut twice in the night from Friday to Saturday and Saturday night to Sunday.
But on Monday, the main provider (ISP) in the country, which is headed by a son of Colonel Gaddafi, has reversed its practice: the network was shut down late at night and during the day before be partially restored in the evening. STRATEGY inconsistent "According to our measurements, we see that traffic is slowed sharply from the middle of the night.
He remains very low during the day, before taking part in the evening", explains Julien Coulon Cedex, a company specializing in traffic management. Measures confirmed by the U.S. company Renesys, which notes that this strategy "by bearings" seems inconsistent. In late January, Egypt had cut off all access to the Internet in the country to try to prevent anti-Mubarak protesters to organize.
But Libya appears unwilling to completely block access to the network. Access which remains very disturbed: always after measures Cedex, traffic volume fell 80% in the country since Friday. Based on measurements of activity on Google's services, although access was completely cut off during the nights of Friday and Saturday, access was partially upheld on Monday.
Services requiring high bandwidth such as YouTube, however, remain virtually unusable.
