Peering Policy

• Our peering policy is Open.
• Only send us traffic destined for the routes we announce.
• Do not point default routes to us for traffic that does not match the routes we announce to you.
• Only send us traffic originating from your own networks, including downstreams.
• You must operate a Network Operations Center which can be reached at any time.
• We recommend that peers set a max-prefix limit based upon the listed values in our PeeringDB on sessions approved by us.

BGP Filtering

• MD5 authentication is strongly preferred.
• We use max-prefix filters for all peerings.
• We will discard prefixes where one or more of the following conditions are met:
  • IPv4 prefix length longer than /24
  • IPv6 prefix length longer than /48
  • NEXT_HOP doesn't match the neighbor's IP address
  • First AS in the AS_PATH doesn't match the neighbor's AS
  • Private AS anywhere in the AS_PATH
  • Bogon prefixes as designated by IANA
