Hi,
Well, that is from your side, from my side, traffic *does* go to the UIXP. So,
DN is peering with Orance, but no the other way around it seems. (just like i
expected)
Are there any other people on other networks?
Mike, from me to you... :-)

All the mtr's to the list you gave go through the IXP for me (using an orange
link). A trace to data.co.ug takes some very interesting path. It would appear
that orange and datanet are peering in France and once I get into datanet's
network, i bounce around some private range IP addresses before ending up with
100% packet loss.

As peering is mandatory for ISPs in Uganda, this would be a violation of this
rule by either these ISPs or Datanet
Peering is simply a connection between two service providers are provided for
by UCC. What IP addresses the service provider advertises to the IXP is
entirely their choice. Should UCC ask, they are peering. Traffic is being
exchanged, but not for all prefixes they hold. Its really up to the ISP to
choose which IP address prefix they will advertise depending on how they want
to play with their traffic.
That said, the purpose of the IXP is to keep Uganda destined traffic in Uganda.
It is to the detriment (if at all these days of fibre) of the ISP that does not
peer or exchange all its UG traffic locally.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a
million chances happen 99% of the time.
