peering
Y525-Network (AS207852) is open for peering through common exchange points, even if both networks are already exchanging routes over Route Servers.
If you do not have a common exchange points with us but still want to peer, a Wireguard tunnel may be established between our PoPs. See below for additional criteria for peering through a tunnel.
ipv6 only
Y525-Network is an IPv6 only network.
- Peering is done over IPv6 on the same LAN.
- If peering through tunnel, Wireguard tunnels are established over IPv6.
- BGP sessions are established over IPv6.
- Only IPv6 routes will be exchanged over the sessions.
peering policy
We keep a simple set of rules for peering with us:
- Peers must maintain a publicly routable ASN;
- Peers must only send traffic from their own and downstream networks to us;
- Peers must only send us traffic destined for the routes we announce;
- Peers must operate a Network Operations Center (NOC) reachable by email or Telegram;
- Peers must keep their IRR and registry data up to date at all times;
- Peers must have a complete and current PeeringDB;
- Peers shall enforce a strict routing policy to avoid route leaks;
- Peers shall aggregate their routes to avoid routing table inflation;
- Peers shall only export their own and downstream network routes to us;
- Peers are encouraged to employ RPKI signing of their routes;
- Prefixes with private or other invalid ASNs in AS_PATH will be filtered;
- Prefixes pointing to well-known bogon addresses will be filtered;
- Prefixes shorter than a /48 will be filtered;
- Prefixes with invalid RPKI status will be filtered;
- AS paths longer than 75 entries will be filtered;
- We support usage of the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community;
- As an Educational/Research network, there may be instability due to experimentation;
- No guarantees are provided for availability or correctness; peer at your own risk;
- Problematic or abusive peers will be disabled/removed immediately;
- Policy and peering availability is subject to change without notice.
The following peering rules shall be additionally observed if peering through tunnel is desired:
- Your PoP shall be ≤50ms RTT away from our PoP.
- Your PoP shall have an IPv6 address not part of your ASN (i.e., assign to you by your upstream)
how to peer
Please reach out to telegram: @ycyc894 when you're ready to peer! You can also email me your details to [email protected] to request to peer. My timezone is UTC-6 (UTC-5 daylight savings) so please expect some delays in communication if you reside in a different time zone.
