AS6206 · AS-NETROUTING

Peering Policy

Open, transparent peering at major Internet Exchanges across Europe, the US and Asia.

Transparent & flexible

Let's Peer Together

Our peering policy is built on transparency and flexibility, catering to both public and private peering needs. We keep our network information accurate and accessible to support effective, mutually advantageous partnerships.

The details

Peering Policy

Netrouting, with network ASN 6206, outlines its peering policy to establish effective and mutually beneficial peering relationships. Our approach emphasizes equitable exchanges, aligning with our global presence as detailed on our PeeringDB page.

Please note that this policy serves as a guideline and is subject to change.

Netrouting reserves the right to accept or decline peering requests at our discretion, and may terminate existing peering agreements without notice. We review peering applications via peering [at] netrouting.com and aim to respond within five working days.

General Guidelines

  • Peering partners must hold a valid ASN and use BGP4 for peering sessions.

  • No abuse of the peering relationship — no default routes, next-hop resets or unauthorized next-hop sharing unless explicitly permitted.

  • A 24/7 Network Operations Centre must be maintained.

  • Consistent route announcements across all peering points for both IPv4 and IPv6.

  • Any filtering (AS, routes, prefix-limits) must be disclosed to Netrouting, along with changes.

  • Announced prefixes should not exceed a /24 mask.

  • PeeringDB entries must be kept current.

  • Exchanged traffic should not permanently exceed 75% of the interconnection capacity.

Public Peering Policy

Valid for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.

Netrouting announces all its routes — our own network and all customers. We don't require a specific inbound/outbound ratio, but a certain traffic level must be met. We require peering in both IPv4 and IPv6.
