This brings an interesting point up… I know for a fact that Batelco, our lovely competitor in Bahrain, has two international gateway points for IP transit. One of them is peered with the exchange and the other one isn’t. As such, we can always access their customers directly, but their customers have a 50% chance of going via the US to access us. Maybe the same issue exists on other networks? Fahad. P.S. No offense to anyone guys.

Does anyone have a map of existing IP connectivity in the GCC region (showing all Peering/ Transit arrangements) along with the latency, Router hops and AS-Path counts for traffic within GCC providers? Also, how much traffic gets exchanged among the GCC providers? Such data would be very useful to make a business case and show the value proposition. Please see attached excel spreadsheet for a matrix template. Below are some traceroutes to few destinations in the GCC countries. This gives some indication of how traffic is routing from Qatar to others in the region, others are welcome to share their traceroutes. To keep the traces short, I have trimmed first four hops, as those are internal and less relevant. ==============QATAR-TO-UAE================== C:\>tracert www.etisalat.co.ae Tracing route to www.etisalat.ae [213.42.25.85] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.206 6 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.66 7 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.162 8 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 198.32.72.33 9 339 ms 340 ms 340 ms 195.229.28.13 10 356 ms 356 ms 360 ms dxb-emix-rb.ge130.emix.ae [195.229.31.66] 11 358 ms 353 ms 365 ms 195.229.0.90 12 340 ms 345 ms 345 ms 213.42.0.51 13 339 ms 333 ms 357 ms 213.42.25.85 Trace complete. ==============QATAR-TO-KUWAIT================ c:\>tracert www.kt.com.kw Tracing route to kt.com.kw [195.226.228.4] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.206 6 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.66 7 1 ms 2 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.162 8 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 198.32.72.33 9 339 ms 339 ms 339 ms 195.229.28.13 10 371 ms 356 ms 356 ms dxb-emix-ra.ge1302.emix.ae [195.229.31.67] 11 333 ms 362 ms 358 ms 195.229.31.107 12 223 ms 223 ms 223 ms 195.229.29.58 13 225 ms 225 ms 227 ms 62.150.200.2 14 228 ms 227 ms 227 ms ns1.qnethosting.com [195.226.228.4] Trace complete. ==============QATAR-TO-OMAN================== C:\>tracert omantel.net.om Tracing route to omantel.net.om [212.72.23.54] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.137 6 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.202 7 63 ms 3 ms 1 ms 82.148.97.66 8 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 212.77.200.169 9 231 ms 231 ms 259 ms r42-doha.netw.qatar.net.qa [212.77.201.42] 10 234 ms 231 ms 233 ms softbank219058126017.bbtec.net [219.58.126.17] 11 232 ms 231 ms 233 ms if-9-0.mcore3.NJY-Newark.teleglobe.net [216.6.57.45] 12 231 ms 238 ms 232 ms if-1-0.core1.NJY-Newark.teleglobe.net [216.6.57.2] 13 * 233 ms 232 ms if-0-0-0.bb2.NJY-Newark.teleglobe.net [207.45.221.37] 14 232 ms 232 ms 232 ms ix-4-0-0.bb2.NJY-Newark.Teleglobe.net [64.86.230.26] 15 447 ms 445 ms 446 ms 82.178.32.153 16 447 ms 445 ms 446 ms 82.178.32.85 17 446 ms 445 ms 447 ms 62.231.254.162 18 460 ms 447 ms 445 ms webhost.omantel.net.om [212.72.23.54] Trace complete. ==============QATAR-TO-SAUDI ARABIA=========== C:\>tracert www.astra.com.sa Tracing route to www.astra.com.sa [212.12.160.12] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.137 6 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.202 7 3 ms 3 ms 5 ms 82.148.97.66 8 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 212.77.200.169 9 232 ms 232 ms 232 ms r42-doha.netw.qatar.net.qa [212.77.201.42] 10 231 ms 259 ms 232 ms softbank219058126017.bbtec.net [219.58.126.17] 11 * 244 ms 232 ms if-6-0.mcore4.NJY-Newark.teleglobe.net [216.6.63.33] 12 233 ms 232 ms 233 ms ix-3-0.core1.NJY-Newark.Teleglobe.net [64.86.84.178] 13 349 ms 349 ms 348 ms pal6-pal8-racc1.pal.seabone.net [195.22.218.211] 14 911 ms 935 ms 1002 ms customer-side-saudi-telecom-kacst-1-sa-pal6.pal.seabone.net [195.22.197.198] 15 896 ms 907 ms 904 ms vlan1.ruh-acc4.isu.net.sa [212.138.112.23] 16 * 901 ms 910 ms nour.ruh-cust.isu.net.sa [212.26.19.54] 17 904 ms 904 ms 908 ms mx2.nournet.com.sa [212.12.160.12] Trace complete. ==============QATAR-TO-BAHRAIN=========== C:\>tracert www.banagas.com.bh Tracing route to www.banagas.com.bh [193.188.101.18] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.137 6 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 82.148.96.181 7 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 82.148.96.254 8 218 ms 220 ms 221 ms 212.77.216.254 9 215 ms 224 ms 221 ms 217.17.233.69 10 221 ms 250 ms 215 ms 217.17.233.69 11 732 ms 670 ms 682 ms 193.188.104.46 12 691 ms 773 ms 666 ms 193.188.101.2 13 586 ms 585 ms 547 ms 193.188.101.18 Trace complete. ===================================================== Best regards, Malik Awan <DIV style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0cm; BORDER-TOP: medium none; PADDING-LEFT: 4pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: blue 1.5pt solid; PADDING-TOP: 0cm; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"> <DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center> <HR align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </DIV> From: ncc-regional-middle-east-admin@ripe.net [mailto:ncc-regional-middle-east-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Salman Al-Mannai Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 1:01 PM To: Fahad AlShirawi; Saleem Albalooshi Cc: John Leong; ncc-regional-middle-east@ripe.net Subject: RE: [ncc-regional-middle-east] Regional Peering</DIV> <DIV id=idOWAReplyText82219> <DIV> Furthermore, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> John has illustrated an extreme case of the little intra traffic, that may not prove the economy of the peering, I think the reason is:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> 1. most of the Web sites are hosted in the use (99% of them !), why? simply because, web hosting is offered much cheaper, abandons of bandwidth, etc. my focus here is on the abandons of bandwidth.</DIV> <DIV> 2. there is no simple mean by which we can identify the traffic whither it is destined to a neighbor or outside - without a detailed analysis, so we are not in a position to tell how much traffic we are exchange among each other.</DIV> <DIV> 3.

I think I agree with you and your proposal more than any other. It is the best setup overall and allows for significant diversity in the connectivity and the peering arrangements. Saleem, The issue is not if there exists a peering link. Yes, it is there. However, as I sit here in Bahrain and tracert a site in the UAE, I still go via the US. I don’t think this is because the setup is not right. I think it is simply because a 2Mbps peering link cannot handle the volume of traffic that needs to flow in between our countries. Of course, I have no statistics on usage of those links and I don’t put the full blame on the bandwidth, but I do think we need to do something about it. I’m seconding Salman’s proposal and saying we don’t need to wait for a GCC telecom committee to get together to do this. Especially since not everyone involved is a member of such a committee.
