Peering with NETHINKS
NETHINKS is currently connected to the public peering location DE-CIX. We have an open peering policy, but if required we would also consider signing written peering agreements.
If you would like to peer with us at either exchange, contact us and provide the relevant information to set up the BGP peering session.
Our technical information is as follows:
| ASN | 8319 |
| Max. Prefixes suggested (IPv4): | 35 |
| Max. Prefixes suggested (IPv6): | 15 |
| RIPE Macros (IPv4): | AS-IXNETHINKS |
| RIPE Macros (IPv6): | AS-NETHINKS-v6 |
| DE-CIX: | |
| IPv4-Adress: | 80.81.193.94 |
| IPv6-Adress: | 2001:7F8::207F:0:1 |
MD5 passwords are supported on request.
Communities
We are currently preparing a set of communities that peering partners may set to control usage and (re)distribution of transmitted prefixes in our backbone. If you have any further requirements not currently available, let us know …
| Community | Function |
| 8319:60050 | Set Local Preference of 50 |
| 8319:60105 | Set Local Preference of 105 |
| 8319:60110 | Set Local Preference of 110 |
| 8319:60120 | Set Local Preference of 120 |
| 8319:60200 | Set Local Preference of 200 |
| 8319:61001 | Prepend last ASN once |
| 8319:61002 | Prepend last ASN twice |
| 8319:61003 | Prepend last ASN thrice |
Please note the following use of standard Local Preferences in our backbone:
| Local Preference | Usage |
| 90 | Prefixes received through backup-uplinks |
| 100 | Default, used for regular uplinks |
| 110 | DE-CIX peering |
| 150 | Private Peerings |
We reserve the right to deviate from these standard setting 😉
