> SEACOM indeed started providing services last week, however the service
being provided is not the *complete* SEACOM project.<br>
><br>
> I understand that what they lit up is the portion that connects SAT-3 in <st1:country-region
w:st="on">South Africa</st1:country-region> upto <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Mombasa</st1:place></st1:City> - therefore the international link is
going via SAT-3. The *complete* system as per their technical drawings connects
from <st1:City w:st="on">Mumbai</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region>
into <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Djibouti</st1:place></st1:country-region>
and thence across the EA seaboard. What we have now is more of capacity on
their "backup"<br>
> system. A traceroute or 'ping' across their present link reveals a
round-trip-time (RTT) of about 140ms-240ms - this is due to the congestion on
SAT-3. A real "end-to-end" fiber system should yield RTT of between
7-30ms.... they, nevertheless called it a "launch"<br>
><br>
> Needless to say, this is much better performance than the satellite that
we are used to, thus the excitement is definitely worth it's while - but it
will be much more exciting once the true end-to-end services of either SEACOM,
TEAMS or others lights up.<br>
