Peering Policy

Introduction.
This document only applies to the KPN worldwide IP backbone -- AS286.
Meeting the peering guidelines presented in this document is not a guarantee that
a peering relationship with KPN will be established. KPN shall evaluate a number
of business factors and reserves the right not to enter into a peering agreement
with an otherwise qualified applicant.

Peering requirements.
* Aggregated exchanged traffic must be 1.0Gbs at least.
* Peering must be implemented in 4 geographically dispersed locations (i.e. more
  than 250 miles apart).
* Peering partner must operate a network of dedicated IP circuits  of at least
  OC-192 in the US or in Europe.
* Peering must be worldwide if applicable. Peering in Europe requires peering in
  US whenever possible.
* Peering with customers or customers of existing peering partners is not possible.
* KPN may shutdown peering if peer is a customer or a customer of existing peering
  partner.
* Peering may be shutdown if existing legs cannot stand 1 leg failure.

Requesting peering to AS286.
An ISP seeking peering should submit its request in writing via email providing a
brief description of its network including such information as: 1) whether it has
a single-country or regional network; 2) if regional, which countries are served;
3) in which exchange points the ISP has a presence; 4) a list of autonomous system
numbers and prefixes served; and 5) a description of the type of traffic carried
by the network. Applications for peering should be submitted to peering@kpn.net.

Applicants can also visit AS286 record at PeeringDB for an up-to-date list of
contacts and find some information about our network: http://as286.peeringdb.com/

Changes to the peering policy.
Existing peers of AS286 will have their peering status reviewed periodically to
ensure joint capacity planning and to ensure that all criteria continue to be met.
KPN reserves the right to terminate peering, upon a notice period as determined
by the parties' agreement, with peers who do not meet the criteria described
above.

Periodic review of the this policy will be conducted to ensure that the criteria
and eligibility requirements are consistent with KPN business needs. KPN may
modify this peering policy at any time.

Effective date: Jan 2010.
