SIX acceptable use policy

SIX peering members are required to:
  • provide a notice of every peering agreement to the SIX management, which needs to include the extent of the peering (peering policy)
  • ensure proper exchange of routing information using the BGP4 protocol (static routing is not allowed)
  • use only the provided ip address on the router connected to SIX backbone
  • label all their equipment located in SIX with the company name
  • maintain their equipment and their configuration in an operational state, repair and report any malfunction immediately after its discovery. The reports are realized through a dedicated mailing list that includes all the SIX members and SIX management. Alternatively you can arrange a maintenance contract with the SIX.
  • record all announced networks into the RIPE routing database and ensure periodic actualization of those records
  • ensure maximal possible aggregation of routing entries
  • prevent any routing loops
  • provide the SIX management with SNMP and CLI access to the SIX router with privileges at least on user level with the ability to read the configuration.

 

SIX peering members are not allowed to:
  • interfere with any equipment belonging to other peering members or any other equipment located within the facility
  • announce networks that do not belong to the member, his customers, or other organizations that use his network for backup or transit
  • announce networks of other peering members outside the range they have agreed upon
  • generate excessive route-flaps.
