Message-ID: <001501c32058$d3881e70$f50ab00a@afol.co.ug> Hi all. After years and years of negotiations and talking, I am very pleased to say the Uganda Internet Exchange Point [UIXP] is now live! [Up and running for all you techie buffs :-)]. Routing protocol in use: BGP. Currently, Africa Online and Afsat are switching traffic. Please see below for a traceroute and ping output from Africa Online to Afsat: Traceroute: mm:/home/tinka # traceroute kla1.afsat.com traceroute to kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 afol-ipg1.africaonline.co.ug (216.104.200.1) 2.159 ms 2.647 ms 3.145 ms 2 afol-ipg-2-71.africaonline.co.ug (216.104.202.71) 42.876 ms 52.221 ms 61.725 ms 3 194.153.153.24 72.093 ms 81.469 ms 90.873 ms 4 afsat-kla.afsat.com (216.129.132.3) 100.305 ms 109.998 ms 119.075 ms 5 kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1) 134.625 ms 147.772 ms 160.945 ms mm:/home/tinka # Ping: mm:/home/tinka # ping kla1.afsat.com PING kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1) from 216.104.200.15 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=37.1 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=251 time=35.7 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=251 time=35.8 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=251 time=36.6 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=5 ttl=251 time=36.4 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=6 ttl=251 time=36.2 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=7 ttl=251 time=43.7 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=8 ttl=251 time=37.7 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=9 ttl=251 time=36.0 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=10 ttl=251 time=35.9 ms 64 bytes from kla1.afsat.com (216.129.132.1): icmp_seq=11 ttl=251 time=35.9 ms --- kla1.afsat.com ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 11 received, 0% loss, time 10108ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 35.718/37.051/43.730/2.204 ms mm:/home/tinka # As you can see, very impressive results. We are still testing several elements, but generally, we are exchanging traffic. I can safely say, Africa Online <-> Afsat traffic is local, and staying in the country. Looking forward to the rest of you connecting. I appreciate everyone's support in getting this off the ground.
