As conflict escalates, so does the crackdown on information. Following airstrikes on February 28, Iran entered its second nationwide internet blackout of 2026, now the longest and most restrictive in the country's history. In his latest analysis, Doug Madory uses Kentik's unique traffic data to reveal: -Why IPv4 routes remain active while the people are cut off (and what that means for government-whitelisted access) -A visualization of the tiny "holes" in the digital blindfold and the subsequent crackdowns on those sharing access -How communication failures are compounding a humanitarian crisis, forcing citizens into predatory data markets Read the entire story below 👇

For years, network operations have followed the same pattern: Alert → dashboards → queries → guess → repeat. Meanwhile, the networks themselves have become dramatically more complex — hybrid cloud, AI workloads, internet routing, and massive telemetry streams. The bottleneck isn’t data anymore. It’s the time it takes people to investigate it. That’s the problem we’re trying to change. With Kentik AI Advisor, the goal isn’t another chatbot or another dashboard layer. It’s giving NetOps teams a system that can reason through network telemetry the way an experienced engineer would: ➡️ Ask a question in plain language ➡️ Automatically run the right investigations across flows, metrics, routing, and cloud data ➡️ Surface what changed, why it matters, and what to check next Instead of starting from raw alerts, engineers start with context. In practice, this means: ⁉️ Faster incident triage 💡 Clear "what changed?" answers 🔎 Evidence-backed incident summaries 💰 Better capacity and cost decisions Under the hood, AI Advisor orchestrates queries across the full telemetry stack and explains the logic behind its conclusions so teams can validate the data, not just trust a black box. We wrote up 7 real ways teams are using it to modernize NetOps here: https://lnkd.in/gYcgTiKj
