African Jedi


IXP Country Jedi• Tool and concept by Emile Aben

- https://github.com/emileaben/ixp-country-jedi

- https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/measuring-ixps-with-ripe-atlas

• Method: - Traceroute mesh between RIPE Atlas probes

- Detect whether they go via local IXP(s)’ LAN IP

- Hops geolocated using OpenIPMap database

• Data: - http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/

IXP Country Jedi

• Benefits: - Shows how IXPs help keep traffic local

- Comparing countries’ performances with each other

- Routing and traffic optimisation

- Comparing IPv6 and IPv4

• African Jedi: - http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/specials/
