AxcelX Technologies LLC is willing to pair with networks that are connected to one or more exchange points that we have in common.

We will announce to you via BGP4 any routes which we carry and will listen to any routes that you carry. Our peering policy is simple:

• Each peer must neither be an existing transit customer of AxcelX.
• Each peer must maintain sufficient backbone capacity to exchange traffic without congestion.
• Each peer must have consistent route announcements at all peering locations.
• All costs shall be equally distributed between the prospective peer and AxcelX. Interface/Switching costs are solely those of the respective party.
• Each interconnection must be 100Mbps or greater.
• Multiple, diverse interconnects are preferred but not mandatory.
• BGP Sessions secured using MD5 encryption are preferred but not mandatory.
• Each peer must operate a 24x7 NOC contactable by email AND telephone.
• Each peer must be able to quickly diagnose and fix any denial of service attacks routing via their network. Axcelx reserves the right to withdraw peering at any time without notice until such attack or other abuse is rectified.
• Each peer must not establish a static route or default route to send traffic over the interconnection for a route that is not advertised over BGP.
• Neither party shall restrict, or otherwise tamper with traffic bound to the other party.
• Each peer must not re-advertise Elite routes to any other peer, such as selling Elite routes. A separate IP Transit contract may be purchased for this purpose.
• AxcelX reserves the right to terminate any peering at any time. 30 days notice shall be given by either party to terminate a peering agreement.
• AxcelX reserves the right to refuse peering with any party based on commercial and/or operational reasons.
