AS199518

AS199518 is a research/education network with a bent towards giving back managed by Gregory Shapiro. We currently sponsor or contribute to RIPE Atlas, GlobalPing, NLNOG RING, and mtr.tools. We also send BGP feeds to bgp.tools, NLNOG, and the University of Oregon RouteViews Project. If you are aware of other projects, please reach out.

Peering Policy

• Peers must maintain a publicly routable ASN.
• Peers must only send traffic from their own and downstream networks to us.
• Peers must only send us traffic destined for the routes we announce.
• Peers must operate a Network Operations Center (NOC) reachable by email.
• Peers must keep their IRR and registry data up to date at all times.
• Peers must have a complete and current PeeringDB.
• Peers shall enforce a strict routing policy to avoid route leaks.
• Peers shall aggregate their routes to avoid routing table inflation.
• Peers shall only export their own and downstream network routes to us.
• Peers are encouraged to employ RPKI signing of their routes.
• Prefer peering over IX via route servers if possible, else direct sessions.
• Prefixes with private or other invalid ASNs in AS_PATH will be filtered.
• Prefixes pointing to well-known bogon addresses will be filtered.
• Prefixes shorter than a /24 (IPv4) or /64 (IPv6) will be filtered.
• Prefixes with invalid RPKI status will be filtered.
• AS paths longer than 100 entries will be filtered.
• We support usage of the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community.
• As an Educational/Research network, there may be instability due to experimentation.
• No guarantees are provided for availability or correctness; peer at your own risk.
• Problematic or abusive peers will be disabled/removed immediately.
• Policy and peering availability is subject to change without notice.
