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? Regards lordmwesh On 13 January 2011 10:09, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
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.

KEnic appears to be down today. 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.
