Peering Policy

Fiber Telecom Peering Policy at a glance.

We are happy to peer primarily with network operators present in the facilities where we have equipment. Since the basis of bilateral relationships must be trust and voluntariness, in addition to reliability, the BGP session will be established with those autonomous systems with which we detect a mutual interest.

For this reason, we support a selective peering policy: we connect if it makes sense. Example: if we receive the AS networks from our transit or if it is agreed that there is a utility in the direct exchange of traffic, or following a particular request. On the contrary, we prefer not to peer with a customer of customers.

Requirements:

• one session for IPv6 exchange
• one session for IPv4 exchange
• do not direct the default gateway towards the peering session
• do not advertise prefixes longer than 24 IPv4 bits and 48 IPv6 bits
• have clean and correct data in the IRRs

Fiber Telecom puts a lot of effort into keeping its network free from congestion: the bandwidth is constantly monitored and the capacity of the connections is increased every time the average occupation of the transmission medium exceeds 70%.

Fiber Telecom applies the following rules to each peering connection:

• discard incoming and outgoing BOGONS networks
• respect BCP38
• discard invalid RPKI
