Bouygues Telecom ISP (AS5410) has a selective peering policy. Applicants must meet each of the following pre-qualifications:

• The candidate shall be a public or privately held company officially registered in its home country's trade and/or industry authority.

• The candidate's network should justify a certain amount of traffic with AS5410 either originated from its own network (peer-as) or from the networks taking transit from it (origin-as). The minimum acceptable amount of traffic remains at the discretion of Bouygues Telecom's network authority and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

• The candidate's Network Operation Centre (NOC) must be reachable either by e-mail or phone 24/7/365. Thus the candidate has to provide any operational contact to Bouygues Telecom and advertise Bouygues Telecom of any change in the contacts' details.

This policy is only a guideline. Meeting all requirements does not guarantee that Bouygues Telecom will accept to peer with the Appliant. Exceptions may also be granted at the sole discretion of Bouygues Telecom.

• PaNAP, Paris, FR (http://www.panap.fr/) : n x 10 Gigabit Ethernet

• PARIX, Paris, FR (http://www.parix.net/) : 3 x Gigabit Ethernet

• SFINX, Paris, FR (http://www.sfinx.tm.fr/) : 1 x Gigabit Ethernet

• DE-CIX, Frankfurt, DE (http://www.decix.de/) : 1 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Bouygues Telecom also accepts to establish PNI with other networks when both Bouygues Telecom's network and the candidate's network are co-located at the same housing facility or when both networks agree to share circuit's costs if they are not in the same facility, but in the same city. Physical media available to privately interconnect with Bouygues Telecom are:

• 1000BaseTX Gigabit Ethernet.

• 1000BaseSX Gigabit Ethernet, multi mode fibre.

• 1000BaseLX Gigabit Ethernet, single mode fibre.

• 1000BaseZX Gigabit Ethernet, single mode fibre.

• 10GBase-LR Ten Gigabit Ethernet, single mode fibre.

• 10GBase-ER Ten Gigabit Ethernet, single mode fibre.

The housing facility where to establish the PNI shall be discussed directly with the candidate.

Upon establishing either a PPI or PNI, the candidate SHALL:

• Advertise fully aggregated prefixes.

• Advertise at least prefixes for registered route (either at RIPE or IRR) with candidate's network AS number as origin.

• Advertise its transit customers either for the region(s) where is (are) the PPI(s) or PNI(s) established if agreed so or worldwide if not specified.

• Accept all the prefixes sent by Bouygues Telecom. Those prefixes are the registered routes object at the RIPE NCC RSPL database (whois.ripe.net) originated by any AS number declared as member of the AS-BOUYGTEL-ISP AS-Set.

• Accept and route traffic sent by Bouygues Telecom to the final destinations for each prefix advertised. No black-holing is allowed.

• Have its routing policy filed at RIPE or IRR.

• In case of multiple PPI or PNI, send the traffic to the interconnection Bouygues Telecom has chosen, or to the closest exit if not specified ("hot potatoes" routing).

The candidate shall NOT:

• Set a default route to Bouygues Telecom's network or set a route to Bouygues Telecom's network to a destination not being a part of the prefixes advertised by Bouygues Telecom.

• Advertise or re-advertise prefixes originated from AS(es) the candidate's network learned from its own peerings.

Bouygues Telecom MAY:

• Shutdown the peering if invalid prefixes are advertised by the candidate's network to Bouygues Telecom.

• Shutdown the peering if packet-loss or abnormal round-trip time delays are observed.

• Shutdown the peering in case of BGP session flap.

• Shutdown the peering if the traffic amount is bellow the agreed level with the candidate upon PPI or PNI opening.

• Ask the candidate to establish another PPI or PNI if the amount of traffic is superior to a certain level.

• Shutdown the peering for a limited amount of time to perform maintenance or upgrades with its peering routers.

• Send traffic to the candidate's network to the closest exit ("hot potatoes" routing).

If the candidate meets the prerequisites stated early in this document or think Bouygues Telecom should establish a PPI or PNI even if he does not, then please send your peering request by e-mail at: peering@as5410.net

If your peering policy requires Bouygues Telecom to sign a peering agreement, please attach it to your peering request in order our legal department to be able to review it.
