Modeling User-perceived Impact of Regional Threats

Submarine cable cuts have become increasingly common, with five incidents breaking more than ten cables in the last three years. Today, around 300 cables carry the majority of international Internet traffic, so a single cable cut can affect millions of users. Outages are long-lasting, since the remote locations of cables means that repairs are expensive and time consuming, often requiring one or two weeks. Prior work has either measured the post-impact of major cable cut incidents, or predicted the results of changes to relatively abstract Internet topological models. In this paper, we develop a new approach to model cable cuts that differs from prior work in two ways. First, we begin with problems drawn from real-world occurrences, rather than abstract topology changes. We then model the impact of these threats on end- users. The result is to relate real-world threats to the quality of end-user experiences. We evaluate how well our model can assess real-world outcomes by analyzing four incidents happened in 2012 and 2013 involving eight cable cuts.
