Meltingpot Indianoceanic Submarine System (METISS)

Meltingpot Indianoceanic Submarine System (METISS) is a cross-regional submarine cable connecting Mauritius, Madagascar, Réunion, South Africa. Its 4 landing points at Baie du Tombeau, Fort Dauphin, Le Port, Umbogintwini bridge the networks of Indian Ocean, East Africa, Southern Africa, providing an important path for international data traffic. As an intercontinental system, Meltingpot Indianoceanic Submarine System (METISS) plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
