Yes KENIC has been down since Yesterday evening. It is disheartening when they go down without a warning. Some people had suggested KENIC getS some level of redundancy or failover. Is it not time we realised that KENIC is a critical internet resource?<br>

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.<br>
