Impacts of Encryption Everywhere (any solution?)

Tue May 29 16:03:13 UTC 2018

Based on my experience a couple of years ago while in West Africa:

If you look at the BGP adjacencies and bidirectional traceroutes for ISPs
in Sierra Leone or Liberia; Freetown and Monrovia are both are logically
suburbs of London. Just with much higher transport latencies via the
submarine fiber link and then transport from UK cable landing station to
the IX points in London.

The situation is a bit different in Accra, Ghana which is a much larger and
more economically developed market, and has IXes and ISPs that peer with
each other domestically.
