ViaNet Peering Policy

ViaNet peers openly and aggressively at each exchange point to which we connect, which presently includes: PAIX Palo Alto NASA Ames/MAE-WEST Equinix Ashburn, VA Equinix Los Angeles San Diego Supercomputer Center Westin Building, Seattle

Technical Policy

We will not peer with anyone who is a ViaNet transit customer. We require that our peers permit LSR, loose source routing, at least at the border. We require that peers announce the same routing policy at all points where they peer with us. Private peers must, and public peers are encouraged to, have NOCs with email addresses, phone numbers, and 24x7 coverage. Peers must agree to actively cooperate chasing security violations, denial of service attacks, and similar incidents. Peers must not abuse the peering relationship by doing any of the following non exhaustive list: pointing default, resetting next hop, selling or giving next hop to others, and so forth. We reserve the right to not peer with anyone as we see fit and to terminate any peering at any time with 30 days notice. We also reserve the right to change this peering policy with 30 days notice.
