Thank you for your interest! I am happy to peer with anyone as long as they meet the peering policy below. If you are happy with the requirements, please send me an email at [email protected]. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
AS200351 Peering Policy
1. Peering Criteria
I would like to peer with as many people as possible, but I do have a few requirements:
- Your network must have a valid Autonomous System Number (ASN) and IP allocations from a Regional Internet Registry (RIR), Local Internet Registry (LIR), or a similar entity;
- Your network must support IPv6;
- You must operate a Network Operations Centre (NOC) reachable by email;
- You must be willing to establish a bilateral peering relationship with me and exchange traffic on a settlement-free basis; and
- You must keep your IRR and registry data up-to-date.
2. Peering Locations
I’m happy to peer at any location that works for both of us. I’m open to peering at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs):
Or any datacentre where I have a presence, which is none at the moment.
I am also willing to peer over tunnels (WireGuard, GRE, IPIP) as a last resort.
3. Routing Policy
I expect peering partners to adhere to the following routing policy:
- Do not announce any prefix that doesn’t belong to your AS or a downstream;
- Do not announce any prefix longer than a /24 (IPv4) or /48 (IPv6);
- Do not announce routes pointing to bogons or they will be filtered;
- Do not announce routes with private or invalid ASNs in the AS path;
- All announced prefixes must be valid according to IRR and/or RPKI. Invalid prefixes will be filtered;
- Announced routes should be aggregated if possible to avoid routing table inflation;
- Do not announce my prefixes to other ASes unless we have a transit agreement; and
- Do not send me traffic destined for prefixes I don’t announce.
4. Maintenance and Support
This is a hobby network and as such there are no guarantees of any kind. I strive to maintain my network on a best-effort basis, and I hope you would do the same.
5. Termination
I reserve the right to terminate peering with any network that violates my peering policy or that I determine to be detrimental to the stability and reliability of my network.
