Congratulations.
Would Oman tell allow those companies to run VOIP in between themselves? I
ask because in the light of the deregulation coming up in 7 months, things like
this will eventually take place.

Fahad.

[ncc-regional-middle-east] Regional Peering
Dear colleagues;
I have been following up on the discussions going on and I wanted to inform
you'll that Omantel has established peering with Etisalat on Wednesday 24th May
using 5 x E1 links. We are only announcing our local networks to each other. In
the business sector, many establishments communicate with their regional
offices in the middle east over the Internet. We are presently seeing
over 4 Mbps traffic after establishing the peer.

Re: [ncc-regional-middle-east] Regional PeeringInteresting point from
Malik. VoIP.
My initial feeling is even if the routing between GCC countries through US is
totally inefficient from engineering point of view, but if most of the data IP
traffic is really not between the GCC country, we may not care.
However, if VoIP is to be a significant service, then I suspect there may be a
lot of VoIP traffic between GCC countries.
In which case, one may pay attention to ITU recommendation G.114 on One-way
Transmission Time (note: not round trip) and its effect on voice
services. It suggests to keep the one way latency to under 150 ms.
150 - 400 ms is acceptable depending on application. Anything above 400
ms is not acceptable.
Regards,
John

So far we have seen latency of up to 600ms (900ms not seen yet) within
the region, which is not good for VoIP traffic.
