Yawe, I Think Washington was making a general comment "Redundancy is expensive", which is true. He did not say that KENIC should not Implement redundancy. Kindly be advised that KENIC has implemented redundancy; a) .KE ROOT Server - Primary at KENIC NOC - Secondary at KIXP ( anycast ) -Secondary outside that country (SA) b) KIXP-KENIC LINK - Primary Point- Point Link to KIXP - Redundant WIMAX Link to KIXP - Fiber Link installation in progress courtesy of Access Kenya c) Transit LINK - Primary link courtesy of Swift Global - VIA -KIXP - Back-up Link at KENIC Regards, Joe Kiragu Administrative Manager Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) "Where the internet begins in Kenya" kiragu@kenic.or.ke On Dec 8, 2010, at 9:42 AM, robert yawe wrote:

Washington,
If you own a car can you convince me that you do not have a spare wheel, if you do that is called redundancy, why do you strongly believe that KENIC should not implement a redundant link might just be that I am too slow to understand where you are coming from.

This should be an eye opener on making KENIC more robust, we need 110% uptime, lets remember the 2 Rs - redundancy, redundancy and redundancy.
I would expect one of the wireless network providers should have rushed to the rescue of KENIC, I have a dream . .
Redundancy is expensive:)
