[AusNOG] Au > South Africa Customer Link

[Brad Peczka]

Best routing you'll get at the moment is SEA-ME-WE 3 (when it's up, hah) to Singapore, overland to Malaysia, and then via SAFE to South Africa.


You'll need to be choosy about your provider though - given Telstra Global have an interest in both cables, they might be a good first start.


There was talk of a consortium called the Australia West Express putting in a cable between Perth and Djibouti via Diego Garcia, who would be the best bet for a low latency Africa link, but they've gone very quiet of late...


Regards,

-Brad.

Guys,

I've been asked to entertain the idea of a customer of ours needing a dedicated link between their Australian branches and their head office in ZA.

They use a Latency sensitive application which is what they are trying to improve by this request. Is there any providers that office links from WA > ZA ? Currently latency ranges between 450 - 550ms from their WAN gateway in Brisbane however if there was an option to terminate a link to their Perth office we would take that path.

TIA

Cameron
