We do not require a signed agreement, but are happy to do so where the agreement is reasonable.

We use PeeringDB as a single authoritative source of truth. This means peering partners must have an up-to-date PeeringDB entry before a bilateral peering session can be established. Both parties must have an up-to-date NOC contact email, which is responsive to raised issues and concerns.

Guidelines

  • Hot-potato routing is implied. MEDs are not honoured.
  • Settlement free peering.
  • Neither party should ever establish a gateway of last resort configured towards the other party's network.
  • A minimum of 5 Mbit/s is generally recommended but not required.
  • We reserve the right to refuse peering with any party.

Private interconnection (PNI) requirements

If the network exchanges more than 1Gbps (95th) of traffic in a specific mutual location, either party can request a PNI. We accept single or multiples of 1/10/40/100G connections.

Information

To ensure quality of operations, we reserve the following rights under our peering policy:

  • To alter our peering policy and peering requirements at any time.
  • To accept or decline a peering request at any time for any reason.
  • To suspend, without notice, peering connectivity in the event of severe QoS issues such as high latency, packet loss or jitter, and to take appropriate traffic engineering steps to maintain service quality.
  • To selectively withdraw prefixes from public IXP fabrics as needed to protect service quality.
  • To terminate any peering connection at any time without notice.

Ready to peer?

Make sure your PeeringDB entry is current, then reach out with your ASN and the exchanges or locations you'd like to peer at.
