Anyone got any technical info on how Russia plans to execute a disconnection test of the internet? I am starting to see this on web sites again: https://slate.com/technology/2019/10/russia-runet-disconnection-domestic-int... and started wondering how they plan to do that? DNS? firewalls? Shut off optics on fiber? Stop satellite comms? What about microwave? https://aviatnetworks.com/solutions/ip-mpls-microwave "Russia plans to execute a so-called disconnection test of the internet sometime in October—right ahead of Nov. 1, when a new law about domestic internet kicks into gear. Russia plans to then repeat this test at least once a year." "For one, “equipment is being installed on the networks of major telecom operators,” Alexander Zharov, head of Roskomnadzor, told reporters." scott
