Peering Policy

  • We will not peer with anyone who is a WiscNet transit customer.
  • We exchange routes using BGP4. We prefer to peer directly.
  • We are a multicast enabled network. If your network is multicast aware, we prefer to exchange both unicast and multicast routes.
  • We have over a decade of experience deploying IPv6 networks and, we'd really be happy to exchange IPv6 routes in addition to v4.
  • We can use BGP authentication keys if required.
  • We require that peers announce the same routing policy at all points where they peer with us, unless other arrangements are made.
  • Private peers must, and public peers are encouraged to, have NOCs with email addresses, phone numbers, and 24x7 coverage. Technical contact information must be provided.
  • 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, sending prefixes longer than /24, and so forth.
  • We reserve the right to temporarily suspend peering if it is determined to be causing harm to the WiscNet network. Peering may resume once the problem is resolved.
  • 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 reserve the right to change this policy with 30 days notice.
