Hmmm...i think the past few years has witnessed major bandwidth boost across the continent (at least for the intra/inter-continent cables)<br>

Here's some numbers from a few months ago:<br>
<br>
GIXA 16 Mb/s<br>
JINX 11 Gb/s<br>
KIXP 2 Gb/s<br>
MEIX 26 Kb/s<br>
MIX (no information available)<br>
MIXP (no information available)<br>
RINEX 99 Mb/s<br>
UiXP 35 Kb/s<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div><br>Just to state that the bandwidth boost i refer is not from IXP..i was referring to the continental internet submarine cables that landed in different countries in the last few years. Nevertheless i also think there are some progress with IXPs in Africa although i agree that the rate ain't as much<br>

Okay, perhaps further clarifying what you mean here could help.<br>

Just curious any specific obvious reason for the !(NG and ZA) filter ;) If i may guess, will this be because of the number of Institution in the 2 countries? if that is the case, i think it will improve consumption of v4 and encourage v6 deployment. However, it should not matter whether all the 50 universities all come from the same country.<br>

The short answer is that it is a proposal for the region. If the 50 universities all come from the same country it may mean that the some people in that country are building up their universities.<div class="im"><br></div>

Hmmm...using Internet Exchange Point as a condition may automatically disqualify some countries that does not even have an IXP....if you meant to say ISP then i agree<br>

<br></div>
It depends how a person looks at it.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I think we also need to agree on what the goal of this policy is....for me having connection to IXP is the least of the goals. (ways to encourage people to connect to IX should be explored)<br><br>Regards <br>
