Peering Philosophy
At XTT, we are committed to providing high-quality, reliable, and scalable connectivity solutions through our advanced SD-WAN and SASE offerings. We believe in the power of a free and open internet, and our peering policy reflects this commitment. We are always looking for new peering partners to exchange traffic with for the mutual benefit of our customers and the internet community as a whole.
Our peering philosophy is simple: we practice a no-cost, settlement-free peering policy with all networks that meet our technical requirements and where a mutual benefit exists. We believe that by working together, we can improve the performance and reliability of the internet for everyone.
Technical Requirements
To ensure a stable and reliable peering relationship, we require that our peering partners meet the following technical requirements:
- Publicly Routable Autonomous System Number (ASN): All peering partners must have their own publicly routable ASN.
- 24x7 Network Operations Center (NOC): A fully staffed, 24x7 NOC is required to quickly address any network issues that may arise.
- Up-to-date PeeringDB Entry: We require all peering partners to maintain an up-to-date and complete profile on PeeringDB. This should include a NOC email address and phone number from a corporate domain.
- Minimum Route Announcement: To ensure mutual benefit, we require a conservative minimum of a /24 route announcement. We are open to discussing this requirement based on the nature of the peering relationship.
- Route Filtering: Peering partners must filter route announcements from their customers to prevent route leaks. We expect peers to adhere to MANRS industry standards for route security.
- No Default or Static Routes: We will not accept default or static routes. All routes must be announced via BGP.
