After complete but intermittent blockades and increased filtering of the Web, Internet traffic in Libya appears to regain near-normal levels, according to the measures the company Arbor Networks. Figures corroborated by those of Google, which indicate a rapid increase in requests from the country for forty-eight hours.
The traffic growth is not the same everywhere in the country, according to Arbor Networks. If traffic from Tripoli remains low, the company noted a very strong growth in connections to Benghazi, one of the cities in the hands of opponents of Gadhafi. At the University of Benghazi, students say they have developed a system to circumvent censorship through satellite connections, but the volumes of evidence suggests a more comprehensive solution to the filtering has been found, or that the people fell back on social networks or video sites unblocked.
