Hi, Please note that KIXP is a private club that has loose and unenforceable rules and regulations for its members which is why at peak times a lot of local traffic must get routed via Europe. This explain to you why Dr. Ndemo wanted to setup a separate exchange point to initially provide service to the government and on the other end I have kept insisting the CCK needs to set up an exchange point with enforceable regulations such as a minimum bandwidth to it with redundant links.

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.
