Peering

Peering Guidelines

Centranet (AS399081) has a selective peering policy and actively peers with networks that provide or host content.

General requirements

  1. The ISP must be able to interconnect at a peering location shared with the Centranet network (AS399081).
  2. All peers must supply a contact that is available on a 24x7 basis, such as a Network Operations Center (NOC) or equivalent.
  3. Neither party shall establish a static route, a route of last resort, or otherwise send traffic to the other party for a route not announced via BGP.
  4. Neither party shall announce to the other the more specific routes of prefixes learned via a third-party transit customer.
  5. Use of the Internet Routing Registry (IRR) is required for prefix filtering.
  6. Peers should provide access to a looking glass or traceroute server to facilitate troubleshooting.
  7. All announcements are to be consistent across all interconnect locations.
  8. Centranet reserves the right to suspend peering for an indefinite period of time should any form of network abuse be verified to take place via the peering interconnect such as denial of service attacks (DOS), unsolicited bulk email (SPAM), or setting default-route to Centranet.
  9. Centranet will not accept any announcement smaller than /24.
  10. Dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 BGP peering is required.
  11. Centranet’s final decision on peering is based upon a mutually agreeable decision to peer based upon operational needs. If Centranet’s operational needs cause a peering arrangement to conflict with the best interest of Centranet, Centranet reserves the right to terminate the peering agreement with reasonable advance notice.
  12. A network that is a customer of AS399081 for any dedicated IP transit services may not simultaneously be a peer.
  13. Centranet will send and honor MED attributes by request only.
  14. All potential and current peers must have and maintain valid PeeringDB.com records.
  15. PNI capacity upgrades should occur in a timely manner to ensure a high end-user quality of experience.

Exceptions to any of the listed general requirements may be made on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Centranet
