<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="2"><DIV><FONT face='Arial' color=#000000 size=2>Hope that all are back and enjoyed a very pleasant break
during the summer,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As per our last exchanged e-mail messages, the idea
of establishing a regional peering was welcomed by all, during the slow days of
summer, our colleagues in QATAR ISP have shown me an interesting statistics on
their peering link with UAE and BAHRAIN it showed that the utilization of
QATAR-UAE, which was DS3 (45Mb/s), averaged at 55%! and QATAR-BAHRAIN (E1) has
exceeded the maximum which means that the traffic exchanged between both is way
above 2 Mb/s.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hence, I encourage all our colleagues to join in
the Peering/NAP project as I've learned that a meeting is being planned
soon.</FONT></DIV>
