Peering Policy

Axera S.P.A. has a Selective peering policy.

We peer with Route Servers at every location. We will happily peer directly with any network with which we have a common exchange presence if both of these conditions are met:

• Your network is not visible via the exchange Route Servers;
• Your network is not reachable via an existing Axera S.P.A. Customer or Peer.

If multiple exchanges, we prefer to peer at every location.

The peering is based on good will and effort, therefore neither party is liable to the other party for losses or damage from interruption of peering for any period of time.

If a more formal/written agreement is needed on your side, please contact us (see below) for an arrangement.

Axera S.P.A. puts great effort to provide uncongested bandwidth at all exchange points. We costantly monitor the bandwidth used at every location and update the links within reasonable time when the traffic exceedes 80% of available bandwith.

Axera S.P.A. supports MD5 and TTL Security (not mandatory) and rfc8326 community.

Axera S.P.A. (AS34758) deployed RPKI validation on all its routers and drops INVALID routes since April 2020.

Axera S.P.A. (AS34758) is a MANRS partecipant.

If you peer with Axera S.P.A., make sure the following expectations are met

• Be Dual Stack! We require IPv4 and IPv6 for each new peering session!
• Use BGPv4;
• Only send us traffic destined to our network;
• Don't point default route to us;
• Don't announce prefixes longer than /24;
• Announce consistent routes at every exchange;
• Have an up-to-date peeringdb record.

Axera S.P.A. applies the following to every peering connection

• We filter RFC1918 addresses, both inbound and outbound;
• We filter BOGON addresses, both inbound and outbound;
• We apply BCP38 filtering;
• We announce only networks with AS_PATH starting with our own AS (34758 or 13097) as registered in the Ripe-NCC database;
• We accept only network with AS_PATH starting with peer's own AS;
• We announce the same networks/routes at every exchange.
• We implement strict RPKI validation and filtering
