Abstract
Internet systems in developing regions experience various performance challenges due to inadequate infrastructure and resources. In this study, we conduct measurements using Speedchecker and perfSONAR to determine network performance when accessing the South African Research and Education Network (SANReN) from within the network and from outside the network. Our analysis finds that SANReN has performance challenge in and around Port Elizabeth (PE), as universities in these cities experienced the highest delays and page load times. We find that PE uses circuitous routes for traffic flows to Johannesburg and Pretoria, causing high delays and high page load times.
