[afnog] Geo. Traffic modelling

[John Gitau]

Assume that I have full access to the network and can install any tool
for the query below:

Supposing I wanted to know which location geographical/transmission
landing points most of my networks traffic ends up, is there a tool that
I can use logs/netflow/RIR/LIR data? etc to corellate this information
and output a report?  

This information would be important for us to make decisions on lets say
where to install accelerators or colocation facilities or just for
traffic modelling. For the time being what we have noticed/confirmed is
there is still a lot of requests to external sites/content (kenya) and
as much as I know the technical community here is working at getting
content either hosted or generated and consumed locally, we still have
to cater for all our users requirements.

I can for instance tell that most of my traffic is to facebook, google,
yahoo,cnn etc but I can't tell by the AS where the server that serves
the request is, If I knew this then I can ask my upstream providers to
ensure we have more capacity to some of those destinations.......
