Our customers are primarily content providers, hence our traffic profile is mostly (but not heavily) outbound.
We operate an open peering policy within reason - we will peer with anyone where it makes sense to do so (typically by volume of traffic exchanged), at LINX (London), LONAP (London), France-IX (Paris), AMS-IX (Amsterdam) or by private peering.
At IXPs we will publish our prefixes on the route servers but offer no guarantee we accept prefixes from the route server; we may operate a reject-all or a filtered policy at our discretion.
All peering sessions will be filtered by origin ASNs obtained from the AS-SET macro for the peer, and each prefix received checked against a corresponding ROUTE origin for that ASN (the aut-num field on RIPE). This is a double-check designed to reduce impacts of human error and crude spoofing. Please ensure AS-SET and ROUTE objects are maintained accurately.
Private peering can also be arranged at most PoPs if sufficient traffic is exchanged.
