<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Safaricom did tell you about the FUP – unlike most ISP’s in the world that never disclose what those FUP’s are.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Also – I’d be very careful about alleging that ISP’s are all looking at user data – particularly because it’s a patently false allegation that all data is analyzed on all links. Yes
– some ISP’s probably do do that kinda DPI on every circuit – but it certainly isn’t the case for a large portion of them – because its not economically feasible to do it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Again, someone would have to pay for those analytics engines – and having written a significant amount of code to detect ddos attacks using pure packet headers (metadata) – I can tell
you flatly that this belief that an ISP is sniffing every packet and analyzing it – is a conspiracy theory with very little basis in fact.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To back this up – on a software based platform – the following is the processing pipeline for packet analytics of packet metadata<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="a" start="1">
<li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">Receive the packet<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">Categorize the packet
<u></u><u></u></span></li><ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="a" start="1">
<li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">By the Ethernet Protocol ID (IPv4, IPv6, possibly .1q tags)<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">By the Layer 4 Protocol byte (Specifically byte 9 of the IP header in V4 traffic)<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">Store the 32bit Source and Destination – combined with the Source and Destination port of the Layer 4 header dependent on if its
UDP or TCP<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">Hash the whole lot and place it into a lookup table against the 5 way tuple.<u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>
<li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">Even if you vectorize that process – you are still looking at a coupla milliseconds per packet – times millions of packets a second.
A modern server can do that kinda accounting at ~20gigabit/second if they bypass kernel which bloats things – but – they haven’t touched the data segment of the packet.<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">If you look at Cisco routers – if you do port mirroring – you are limited to mirroring the first 128 bytes of the packet – because
the replication of anything beyond that kills performance, it can’t be done at line rate
<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">If you look at Juniper routers – you can port mirror for analytics on the full packet – but at the cost of performance.<u></u><u></u></span></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">On hardware asic based routing – analytics such as you are referring to requires CPU punt – because the asics aren’t designed
to do what you are proposing.<u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A 10gig circuit can be running in excess of a million packets a second – even if you are vectorizing the packet processing – just analyzing the headers to categorize it – before you
attempt to hash it and bucket it – requires a minimum of 100 instructions post packet receipt – add the hashing and bucketing – you’re looking at a few thousand instructions to the CPU *<b>per packet</b>* - add the payload analytics – this goes up by orders
of magnitude – last I checked – ISP’s don’t have super computers lying around.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you want full DPI to the level of analytics you are proposing – you HAVE to analyze the full payload content of the packet – and while there are boxes that can do this – they cost
*<b>millions</b>* (of dollars not KSH) – and ISP’s generally aren’t gonna spend that kinda money unless they have to – because the cost has to be passed to the users.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You have the option of buying an account without such an FUP – it just costs more – because someone has to cover the costs. Bandwidth doesn’t come free. This
is the same reason why there are contention ratios (which I notice Safaricom also publishes).</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You refer to big data analytics – yet if I were to propose that an ISP actively sniff and analyze user traffic – you’d be screaming about violations of privacy
– because the type of analytics you are talking about would require deep packet inspection at levels you don’t even want to contemplate.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Let me be clear – you get what you pay for – and if every user decided to use their FUP allocated terabyte to its full capacity – for every 3240 users you would
need a 10gigabit circuit – if every user ran at their maximum speeds on the 100mbit accounts – for every 100 users you would need a 10gigabit circuit. Trust me when I say – there is no world in which an ISP could afford to provide 10gigabit of bandwidth at
a cost of effectively under $11k a month and still remain viable – which is what would happen if all those users maxed out.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So – let me ask you – would you prefer that ALL the users be penalized with significantly higher prices – or would you prefer that people abide by what is fair

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve hesitated to climb into this but – here goes anyway (everything written in personal capacity)</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Firstly – almost ALL ISP’s have FUP’s in some form or another – generally buried deep in the T&C’s – as someone stated to me – in the UK with certain ISP’s suddenly
your line just gets slow and then when you call support you find yourself quietly diverted to the abuse department.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The fact is that FUP’s are a necessary evil.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<ol type="a" start="1">
<li>
<span lang="EN-US">They prevent customers from reselling one account to multiple other parties while sharing it using NAT – which impacts the financial viability of the service and make its more expensive for everyone else in the end</span><u></u><u></u></li><li>
<span lang="EN-US">ISP’s operate on contention ratios – if you do not impose some form of FUP – you either have to put up the price or the contention ratios are going to get out of whack – and everyone else is going to suffer.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li>
<span lang="EN-US">Globally most home accounts use well shy of half a terabyte a month – a terabyte of data is a LOT of data for a single home
</span><u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So let’s just put some context in what a terabyte of data actually means – and I always use video as the prime gauge of this because it’s the easiest example.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Your average Netflix 4k film runs at ~25mbit at absolute maximum if you are watching 4K on an HDR enabled TV. That’s 22.5 Gigabytes of data every 2 hours – if
you watch one 4K 2 hour movie every single day for a month you will eat 675gigs of data. If we drop this to 1080p – which is far more common – you are using ~7 megabit of bandwidth – or 6.3gigs every 2 hours – if you watch 300 hours of 1080p content in a
month – or 10 hours a day – you still haven’t hit that cap.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Effectively – you could watch one 4K movie every day for a month – and still watch 150 40minute tv episodes in 1080p in a month – and have room to move.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To look at it from another perspective – installation of something like Ubuntu Linux over the net – you could still over 400 machines on that kinda data load
in a month.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With regards to gaming – you may burn 100gig pulling down a game and game updates – but after that in game play you are using tiny amounts of bandwidth and could
keep yourself playing easily for a month with space to spare.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On Zoom calls – if you ran zoom 24 hours a day – for a month – you’d use less than 70% of that cap.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Also – I might point out that the FUP’s slow your link down once you hit that cap – to a rate that is still useable if a little sluggish.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Basically what I’m saying in all of this – Safaricom’s FUP and T&C’s to me seem perfectly reasonable and designed to protect the network – with the alternative
being – the price goes up for everyone or everyone suffers because of the few when the network congests. Bandwidth aint free – and you can’t have it both ways – the product still has to make financial sense to both the consumer and the provider</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Sidney for this.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t think Safaricom is being sincere in this fair usage limits. They promised that with Home Fibre one can stream, download or upload stuff without limits. All you do is pay
your monthly subscription. Fair usage is a type of rationing that limits how much you can do when you had been promised that you can do whatever you want. To me this is going back on a promise. It’s reminiscent of the days of unlimited 3GB bundles on the dongle
modem only for them to strike you with a fair usage notice. Are other networks doing the same? As the industry leader in the country, this is bound to influence other industry players to adopt the same standards and limits which is not good. Maybe it might
be time to seek other options.<u></u><u></u></p>
