Ramping up Research Traffic on SEACOM

While TENET has enjoyed high-speed interchange of traffic with GÉANT before, it has mostly been from its nodes co-located in London (e.g. local mirrors).

However, it looks like things are heating up - traffic of up to 700 Mbps between the SANReN ring in Gauteng...
and GÉANT in Europe...

Interestingly, none of the TENET graphs show which client networks this is going to, so perhaps this is just an internal test or mirror population?

Apparently this traffic is Sourceforge repositories being mirrored to mirror.ac.za.

Mirror.ac.za doesn't show any links to a sourceforge.net mirror, so hopefully this will be a fully-integrated download endpoint (which will be great news for other ZA users).
