Matrix
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Since early morning on 8 October, Internet transmissions from
Pakistan (via pk.ibm.net) have experienced a great increase in packet
loss. Almost simultaneously, there has been a decrease in latency for
Internet traffic in Kazakhstan. Moreover, a large number of sites in
Saudi Arabia have become unreachable.

These anomalies occurred at the time of the second military strike on
Afghanistan.

In all likelihood, the packet losses are the result of transmissions
switching to a phone network. The lack of contact with Saudi Arabia
may be intentional: either preserving Internet silence for security
reasons, or merely refusing network pings.

The increase in speed (latency decrease) for Kazakhstan is very
likely the result of military operations personnel establishing
faster links (on nursat.net) once the operation had begun.
