[kictanet] [EANOG] The East Africa Internet Exchange Point-- Where are we?

[Kyle Spencer]

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance, but where is the demand for this?

What purpose would an EAIXP serve that existing IXPs do not? If I already
have access to a local exchange and the EAIXP is in another country, why
would I send my traffic via that route?

Regards,
Kyle Spencer
