International capacity
How is this calculated?

No data

A 100 Tbps figure circulates for SilkLink's design capacity on a weak secondary source, and design capacity is not available capacity in any case. Needs a primary document. Transit paths are separately observable via BGP and RIPE.

A single international path

High international

Current state

SilkLink's scope includes a landing station at Tartus and terrestrial interconnects with Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Available international capacity today, and the transit paths actually in use, are unpublished; a design-capacity figure circulates on a weak secondary source.

Why it matters

A single-path network is one cut from dark, and this is answerable from outside via BGP and RIPE with no operator cooperation — so the gap here is in the work, not in what can be known.
