Mombasa Internet traffic re-routed to Nairobi hub

Internet traffic to Mombasa and parts of Tanzania will be routed through Nairobi after the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) and a Kenyan telecoms lobby group closed Kenya’s second Internet Exchange Point (IXP) that was based in Mombasa.

AMS-IX in a statement said the decision was made after the Mombasa-based Internet exchange point failed to attract enough users.
