On November 30, 2016, a ship accidentally broke three undersea cables serving the island of Jersey in the English Channel, causing disruption for telecom operators like JT Global. Fortunately, Cloudflare's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol ensured that traffic from London to Jersey was rerouted through Paris as a backup path. This incident highlights the importance of having fallback systems in place when dealing with unpredictable events affecting critical infrastructure like undersea cables.
