[kictanet] KEnic down-Basics of IXPs

[Walubengo J]

@ Yawe,
Plse visit
http://drpeering.net/index.php

and specifically spend some time on

http://drpeering.net/white-papers/Internet-Service-Providers-And-Peering.html

then thereafter you will agree when I say that:
1. Most Peering arrangements are (should?) indeed (be) private arrangements.
2. Regulating an IXP is not the same as regulating "Interconnection tarrifs btwn (voice) Telcos"
3. Dr. Ndemo and a "Govt" IXP?- to me its sounds like a contradiction of terms because by nature IXPs tend to be "open systems" rather than closed to one stakeholder. Of which government can and should have. But then it would be called GCCN -  government common core network rather than an IXP.

walu.

Hi,
Please note that KIXP is a private club that has loose and unenforceable rules and regulations for its members which is why at peak times a lot of local traffic must get routed via Europe.
This explain to you why Dr. Ndemo wanted to setup a separate exchange point to initially provide service to the government and on the  other end I have kept insisting the CCK needs to set up an exchange point with enforceable regulations such as a minimum bandwidth to it with redundant links.

KEnic appears to be down today. Also why is it that traffic through Orange-TKL first goes to Europe before coming back to Nairobi, Kenya? Think KIXP. Are KEnic and Orange-TKL not peering members on KIXP, I would expect them to be pioneer members on
 KIXP to serve as role models for other organizations.



Kind regards,
