AS9002 peering policy

OVERVIEW

RETN owns and operates an IP network identified as Autonomous System 9002 with AS-RETN as-set (IPv4) and AS-RETN6 (IPv6).

Our IP network is directly interconnected with multiple ISPs, NSPs and CSPs. New peering connections are established, only when they are beneficial for RETN and its customers.

Below are the main principles which determine RETN’s decision regarding the benefits and appropriateness of establishing peering with potential partners.

RETN has a restrictive peering policy globally and considers each peering request based upon individual merits.

We reserve the right to reject a peering request or terminate existing peering relationships if their advantages are not evident to us.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Those who request private peering with RETN, whether over a PNI or IXP, should:

Have minimum traffic volumes of 10Gbps with RETN

Have balanced traffic with AS9002, with a minimum ratio of 50%

Have implemented MANRS actions and be a participant of MANRS

Secure a minimum of 10Gbps bandwidth at each interconnection point

Maintain a network consisting of fully redundant N x 100G links with each peering point

Establish interconnection with RETN in 3 separate mutually beneficial locations which are geographically separated by at least 2000km from each other

Be able to react quickly to establish the additional capacity to meet traffic growth, and agree to upgrade connections at 70% utilisation

Maintain “full BGP view” at the edge router by means of BGPv4

Announce only its own routes and the routes of its customers to AS9002, but not the routes received from other peers or upstream

Not announce “martian” routes or the default route (0.0.0.0/0) to AS9002

Manage a fully staffed 24×7 Network Operational Centre

Provide its escalation matrix upon request in order to be able to quickly resolve possible network issues
