NREN  Infrastructure  and  Sources  of  Funding  in  Africa  

•  NREN  Network  infrastructure  =    –  Int’l  /  regional  links    +  na7onal  distribu7on  network    +  campus  networks  

•  Who  has  financed  different  segments  of  KENET?    –  Int’l  links  -­‐    GoK  /  World  Bank  +  Supplier  Financing  (3  x  STM-­‐4  IRUs  +  1  STM-­‐1)  

–  DistribuHon  Network    –  Government  +  Leased  Line  Providers  +  InsHtuHons  (Up  20  Gb/s  last  mile  capacity  as  of  August  2013)  

–  Campus  ICT  investments  –InsHtuHons  (95%)  +  KENET  +  Google  GASP

UbuntuNet Backbone

•  14 NREN members in Eastern/Southern Africa

•  EU/UA funded Africa Backbone

–  Phase 1 is Kigali <> Kampala <> Nairobi < > Dar < > Maputo <> Mtunzini < > Nairobi (STM-4 links)

–  Nairobi < > Amsterdam (peer with GEANT, AMSIX, and IP transit)

•  Aggregates Traffic demands to/from Akamai + Google + R&E + other local content in Africa

KENET  as  an  NREN  •  Aggregates  HE  Demand  for  bandwidth  and  leased  lines  

–  Increasing  buyers  power  of  the  higher  educa7on  sector  and  reducing  costs  

–  KENET  beneficiary  of  supplier-­‐financed  IRUs  •  Aggregates  Internet  traffic    from  Higher  ED  AS    

–  KENET  generates  up  to  1  Gb/s  of  Google  cache  traffic  –  1  Gb/s  connec7on  to  KIXP  

•  Develops  High-­‐end  ICT  talent  –  technical  +  project  management  –  Capacity  building  for  KENET  and  member  ins7tu7ons  

•  Builds  advanced  research  infrastructures  and  community  in  different  areas  –  Africa  Science  Gateway  and  federated  services  (KENET  CA,    iDP,  

EDUROAM)  –  ICT/Internet,  Educa7onal  technology,  Medicine,  and  Agriculture

l   What  Is  It?  

–  Open,  distributed  plagorm  for  researchers  to  deploy  measurement  

tools  

–  Open  data  l   Some  Measurement  Tools  

–  NDT  (Network  Diagnos7c  Tool)  –  Speed  &  Diagnos7cs  –  NPAD  (Network  Path  &  Applica7ons  Diagnos7cs)  –  Iden7fies  performance  problems  on  the  end-­‐to-­‐end  path  

–  Neubot  –  Gathers  data  for  network  neutrality  –  ShaperProbe  –  Iden7fies  traffic  shaping  in  the  path  

–  Glasnost  –  Iden7fies  applica7on-­‐specific  traffic  shaping,  Deep  

packet  inspec7on  on  the  path
