After several calls to iConnect FTTH support no one has any idea what is going on. Their traffic to specific Neotel hosts appear to be routed via Mauritius as follows:

Their network ops team are clueless.

Still waiting for a call back
 
Lol.

Liquid Telecom (and many others) are legally registered in Mauritius, hence their Afrinic addresses are listed as "Mauritian" - it does NOT mean the actual router is in Mauritius...

Since Liquid owns Neotel their routers will come into play for routing.

Click to expand...

If you look at the packet trace route, you will see that the route is flowing via an IP addresses that is based in Mauritius (154.66.247.217).

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
