The objective is to provide high-speed, reliable and resilient IP traffic exchange facility for both Uganda and external entities, allowing them to route IP traffic efficiently thereby providing faster, more reliable and lower-latency Internet access for their customers.
The overriding aim is to keep local Internet traffic local while deriving other benefits such as the following:
The Exchange Point
* Reduces operational costs for ISPs
* Spurs competition among ISP leading to drop in prices for consumer
* Improves reliability and performance leading to cost benefits to end users
* Provides for redundancy for peers and consumers
* Creates new local Internet bandwidth in the local market
The chosen model is one with a SWITCH in the middle via which Peers Interconnect.
