PacketExchange (formerly Mzima Networks)
Peering Guidelines and Requirements
Policies
PacketExchange supports a selective policy of interconnection with other Internet Service Providers where it makes technical sense to do so. PacketExchange Networks currently operates an international OC-48/OC-192 backbone network. The following guidelines represent those qualities required in a peer:
- Peers must maintain a fully staffed Network Operations Center that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week reachable via email and telephone.
- Peers must provide the means by which to escalate and resolve network emergencies.
- Peers must be responsive to dealing with unsolicited email, denial of service attacks and other security concerns.
- Peers must provide sufficient capacity to handle traffic exchanged whether by public exchange or private interconnect.
- Peers should register and maintain proper route objects in the RADB or mirrored IRR.
- Peers must advertise consistent route announcements at all locations where an interconnect is established.
- Potential peers may not have been an PacketExchange IP transit customer during the previous 12 months.
- Peers must be able to support sessions in at least 3 different geographic regions or timezones (U.S. domestic networks).
- A minimum of 100 Mbps busy-hour traffic exchange is required (25 Mbps for international networks).
