BGP Peering Policy

Our organization operates a network that utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to exchange routing information with other networks. We are open to establishing BGP peering sessions with other networks that meet the following criteria:

• The network must be capable of supporting BGP version 4.
• The network must have a globally unique Autonomous System Number (ASN) assigned by a recognized regional Internet registry (RIR).
• The network must maintain a publicly available, accurate, and up-to-date WHOIS record for its ASN.
• The network must operate a router that is connected to the Internet via a physical link, and must not rely on tunneling or other forms of NAT to reach the Internet.
• The network must have a documented abuse handling policy and must be willing to cooperate with our organization to resolve any reported incidents of abuse.
• The network must not engage in spamming or other forms of malicious activity that could harm the stability or security of the Internet.
• The network must have a publicly accessible looking glass or other means of verifying routing information.
• The network must agree to the terms of our standard peering agreement.

We reserve the right to terminate a peering session at any time for any reason, including but not limited to violations of our peering policy or changes in the operational needs of our network.
