You can see the aggregate traffic now, well done to KIXP for making this
Some local Telcos seem to initially have conveniently given KIXP a wide berth, ( Perhaps to avoid associated costs of Loops/peering etc) and so it cannot be gainsaid that we again got caught flat-footed.. and now the chicken are finally coming home to roost, and so it is just right that we all should learn our lessons and move to set up a proper infrastructure that mitigates the 'unforeseen' in future. Now, what about the ship. Is it still docked at the port. How did it score such a direct hit? How about re-routing the different cables to different landing points - not sure what motivated the different entities to 'bundle' them together through a single point of entry and thereby also according a single point of failure. As an important information Superhighway gateway, this infrastructure should now be accorded a 'national security' status Asap..! How many Billions has the country lost to date.. or stand to lose if we do not remedy immediately to convince those coming to set up shop that we have redundancy to the highway? Anyone doing the maths..

see link at very bottom of page, it doesn't look like any significant change, except perhaps for the weekend, while folk were hustling to re-route prefixes.

Hi,
Any chance we can get an analysis off the impact of the marine cable cuts
on
KIXP?
I am having problems connecting from Safaricom to sites hosted locally by other ISPs my suspicion being that some of the other ISPs connections to KIXP are congested which would also be a wearing indication that we are still routing some of our local traffic through the international gateways.
