NRENs in Africa

Ubuntunet Alliance


It can be seen that NRENs are being created. Below on the left and in the middles are the routes taken from South Africa to other African countries in September 2005 and August 2009 and on the right the routes from Burkina Faso to other African countries in August 2009. In the middle map countries which were only accessible by satellite have horizontal shading lines.

It can be seen that NRENs are being created. In September 2005 most traffic from South Africa to the rest of Africa took costly international links, only Botswana and Zimbabwe had direct routes. More details on the routes to African countries from several measurement points around the world measured in Spring 2009 can be seen in a spreadsheet of African routing and inferences.

Connections from Burkina Faso in August 2009 were direct to only Senegal, Mali, and Benin (in green).  Most other countries in grey are were reached by intercontintal connections via Europe, followed by many in teal that go via Europe and N. America. Somalia is was reached via Europe, N. and S. America. Burundi is was reached via Europe, N. America and E. Asia.
