On the diversity of interdomain routing in Africa [pdf]
- contingencies 11y agoThanks for sharing this. I would like to see a similar report on Asia from APNIC. China has amazing optical infrastructure (these days, fiber to the home is normal even in tiny towns) but almost nothing internationally they let people use. They neighbour with so many countries I wonder why they don't get in to the transit game. Russia would be a quicker and non-US route to Europe, for instance. Central Asian connectivity is probably Russia-dominated, but China could get in there. India, Pakistan, or Burma could provide shorter transits for Chinese traffic to much of the world. Of course, there's some pretty big mountains about, but after building the Beijing to Lhasa railway, what's a couple of cables?
