The new rules will come into force on March 1, 2026, and will be valid until March 1, 2032.
The agency will have the right to change traffic routes, filter, block external channels, and even isolate RuNet from the rest of the world.
The document introduces detailed requirements for operator networks, including cases when traffic can or cannot be routed through technical means of countering threats.
