Re: [ncc-regional-middle-east] Regional PeeringInteresting point from Malik.  VoIP.  

My initial feeling is even if the routing between GCC countries through US is totally inefficient from engineering point of view, but if most of the data IP traffic is really not between the GCC country, we may not care.  

However, if VoIP is to be a significant service, then I suspect there may be a lot of VoIP traffic between GCC countries.  

In which case, one may pay attention to ITU recommendation G.114 on One-way Transmission Time (note: not round trip) and its effect on voice services.  It suggests to keep the one way latency to under 150 ms.  150 - 400 ms is acceptable depending on application.  Anything above 400 ms is not acceptable.

John

  So far we have seen latency of up to 600ms (900ms not seen yet) within the region, which is not good for VoIP traffic.
