Peering Policy

Our peering policy is open. That means that we would like to peer with everyone who wants to peer with us. There are only a few basics (see “Peering Requirements”) we assume you can agree into.

We do not ask for a written peering contract but if you require we will sign a contract if we agree with the content.

If you would like to have a peering with us, please contact us via peering@enginenetworks.net and provide us the required informations (see below).

Peering Requirements

Any Peer must agree into the following conditions:
- Peer must operate a Network Operations Centre (NOC) which can be contacted 24×7x365 by eMail or phone if necessary.
- Peer must cooperate in case of network abuse. On occurrence of Denial of Service attacks Peer shall implement filters on request.
- Routes should be aggregated as much as possible. We will not accept any announcement smaller than /24.
- Routes must be registered at RIPE using a route object.
- Peers should enforce routing integrity by means of filters to their customers.
