[lugm.org] My adventures with the Mauritius Internet Exchange Point

[Loganaden Velvindron]

 Sorry Nishal, I meant ISPs, not IXPs.
For the XMPP server, it would *really* help if we could get latencies of around 2-20ms across the different Local ISPs. Don't you think so ?
I have a 10Mb/s upload speed, and I think that for a voice call among people in Mauritius is a good idea.
Btw, Nishal what is your opinion about putting probes such as RIPE atlas probes between different Local ISPs to see the latency among them to raise awareness of the peering problems ?

Hi Cyril,
 It doesn't use peer-to-peer, as far as I know. However, if we had a viber server in Emtel datacenter, we can leverage a low latency across different IXPs to get better quality. 

no this is incorrect.in its life cycle, a packet will not traverse _different_ IXPs.there is no economic model for that.i would be interested to see a traceroute showing otherwise. 

It wouldn't matter if the viber customer is at Orange, or Bharat. As long as there's good peering, the latency will be ok, and so will the voice quality.
We could also host our own XMPP server somewhere in Mauritius, and set up a service :-D


this, is what you want to do!so what's stopping you?

I have horrible voip quality with viber when I talk to Mauritian across a different ISP. I have 30Mb/s, whereas she has 10Mbit FTTH. Here bandwidth does not help, it's latency :)
Same goes for gamers hosting matches within Mauritius, but across different ISPs. 

Does Viber use peer to peer technology for calls?
