[General] Kuwait ISP's Topology and Peering

[Majed B.]

I heard this story from our networks professor in college so here I relay it
to you:

This was probably after FastTelco opened and all ISPs weren't peered with
each other, instead all traffic goes outside then back to Kuwait.

It was either a minister or a higher up in Kuwait University who gathered
owners of ISPs in a meeting and as soon as they started talking he stopped
them and asked everyone yo call the other instead.

They got the message and later on they did peer with each other.

Now, according to an insider friend, there are SLAs between ISPs to share
traffic during problems like cable cuts.

Thank you Mohannad,

You saying that this is upon request and not based on a pre-designed or
planned and maintained peering network? if that's a true fact then hand of
corruption have reached our IT sector. :)
