Public peering guidelines, BGP communities catalog, traffic engineering values, and direct interconnection architecture.
1. Peering Policy
Open Peering Policy1. Overview & Core Principles
Thera operates an Open Peering Policy. Our objective is to optimize routing, minimize latency, and provide robust network redundancy for customers and interconnection peers. We encourage direct BGP peering at shared IXPs (Internet Exchanges) and private interconnects (PNI).
2. Technical Requirements
- General Policy: Open to any AS with common IXP presence or PNI capability.
- Multi-Site: Optional. Multi-site encouraged, single-site accepted.
- Traffic Ratio: None. No strict incoming vs. outgoing symmetry enforced.
- Health Check: Required. Continuous session liveness and active BFD checks.
- Routing Security: MANRS compliance, IRR and RPKI ROV prefix filtering strictly applied.
3. Legal & Compliance Terms
- Agreement: Optional. Tacit acceptance of BGP operational standards or bilateral NDA/SLA upon request.
- Suspension: Immediate teardown rights in case of DDoS, route hijacks, route leaks, or link degradation.
- NOC Contacts: Must maintain up-to-date PeeringDB profiles with reachable 24/7 contacts.
