AS202192 · IPv6 · Falkenstein and Helsinki
An Internet Exchange open to every network.
Bring your own ASN and peer directly with everyone else on one IPv6 LAN, behind two route servers that validate RPKI and IRR before a route reaches you. Both locations are a single broadcast domain, so who you can peer with never depends on where you landed. There is no minimum size and no joining fee.
What you get
One LAN, both sites.
01
A real layer 2 peering LAN
Your connection joins a single broadcast domain that spans both locations. Bilateral sessions with any member, wherever they landed.
02
Two route servers that filter
Next-hop and first-AS checks, bogons, RPKI origin validation with invalid dropped, IRR prefix lists from your AS-SET, max-prefix from PeeringDB. A rejected route keeps a community naming the check that dropped it, so the looking glass can tell you why.
03
Configuration you can paste
VyOS, RouterOS, Linux, FRR, BIRD, IOS-XE and Junos bundles rendered with your own addresses and keys. The only placeholder is your private key.
04
1500 bytes, or a warning
The LAN carries 1500-byte frames. Your path is measured during onboarding, and if it cannot carry them you are told before your first session rather than left to find out.
05
A quiet broadcast domain
Only the MAC address you registered, and only IPv6 and ARP frames. Spanning tree, LLDP, router advertisements, DHCPv6 and IGP hellos are dropped, multicast is rate-limited, and an address left behind by a departed member is answered for.
06
Verified ASN ownership
Sign in with PeeringDB, or prove control through the contacts in your RIR objects. Without that check a free exchange is a hijacking tool, so there is no way around it.
Status
Where we are
Both locations are in service and the member portal is open. Figures on this site come from the exchange, so they read zero until the first sessions are established. There is more about the two sites on points of presence, and what the exchange carries is on statistics.
