LightSpeed Technologies Peering Policy

Technical Requirements

If you want to peer your network with LightSpeed Technologies, your network must have/be:

• Publicly routable ASN
• Publicly routable address space (at least one /24 of IPv4 and/or one /48 of IPv6 space)
• ASN record completed in PeeringDB
• 24x7 NOC contact
• Located at one one or more of the peering interconnection facilities listed for LightSpeed Technologies in PeeringDB
• A local router must be present on site to provide low latency peering.

Routing

• Up to date Maintainer, ASN, AS-SET, and Route/Route6 objects in a IRR.
  • Local RIR
  • RADB
• Max prefix for IPv4 and IPv6 comes from your ASN's PeeringDB record. For your peering session with LightSpeed Technologies it is recommended to use a max prefix of 100 for IPv4 routes and 50 for IPv6 routes.
• Bogon ASNs and martian prefixes are filtered.
• Strict filtering is performed using Internet Routing Registry (IRR) data. IRR Explorer may also be useful. You can verify your IRR data with:
  • IPv4 prefixes: whois -h rr.ntt.net '!gasYOUR_ASN_NUM'
IPv6 prefixes: whois -h rr.ntt.net '!6asYOUR_ASN_NUM'
AS-SET ASNs: whois -h rr.ntt.net '!iYOUR_AS_SET_NAME,1'
AS-SET IPv4 prefixes: whois -h rr.ntt.net '!a4YOUR_AS_SET_NAME'
AS-SET IPv6 prefixes: whois -h rr.ntt.net '!a6YOUR_AS_SET_NAME'
• LightSpeed Technologies will utilize Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) data. If an ROA for a prefix and LightSpeed receive an announcement in violation, it will be dropped.

We recommend you create IRR records at the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) which assigned/allocated your address space and/or with RADB.

Peering Benefits

• Economic
• Interconnection with LightSpeed Technologies is always on a non-charged (“settlement free”) basis.

Note that peering occurs at common physical locations and both LightSpeed Technologies and any peering network bear their own costs in reaching any such location. All of LightSpeed Technologies peering locations are in its PeeringDB entry.
