If you would like to peer with WiscNet, please provide the following information.
We will not peer with anyone who is a WiscNet transit customer.
We exchange routes using BGP4. We will peer either directly or via a route server.
We are a multicast enabled network. If your network is multicast aware, we prefer to exchange both unicast and multicast routes.
We also are experimenting in IPv6. If you're interested in exploring this new technology with us, we'd be happy to exchange IPv6 routes.
We require that our peers use BGP authentication keys.
We require that peers announce the same routing policy at all points where they peer with us, unless other arrangements are made.
Private peers must, and public peers are encouraged to, have NOCs with email addresses, phone numbers, and 24x7 coverage. Technical contact information must be provided.
Peers must agree to actively cooperate chasing security violations, denial of service attacks, and similar incidents.
Peers must not abuse the peering relationship by doing any of the following non exhaustive list: pointing default, resetting next hop, selling or giving next hop to others, sending prefixes longer than /24, and so forth.
We reserve the right to temporarily suspend peering if it is determined to be causing harm to the WiscNet network. Peering may resume once the problem is resolved.
We reserve the right to not peer with anyone as we see fit and to terminate any peering at any time with 30 days notice.
We reserve the right to change this policy with 30 days notice.
