Extreme IX aims to ensure the Members reliable and uninterrupted Service as well as to limit the risks of deliberate or accidental mistakes, defective equipment or lack of speed of certain Member to reflect the quality of the others.

According to this the following restrictions and rules apply:

1. Extreme IX PHYSICAL INTERFACES and MEMBERS PHYSICAL INTERFACES shall work in full-duplex regime.

2. Frames forwarded to Extreme IX ports shall have one of the following ethertypes:
   – 0x0800 – IPv4
   – 0x0806 – ARP
   – 0x86dd – IPv6
   and restricts all other ethertypes.

3. Only one MAC address is allowed on a service port and all traffic originating from this port should come with the same source MAC address, otherwise traffic will be discarded.
   In the case of VLAN Interconnect service, we allow one MAC address per VLAN ID.

4. Frames forwarded to Extreme IX ports SHALL NOT be addressed to a multicast or broadcast MAC destination address except as follows:
   – broadcast ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) packages
   – multicast IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) packages

5. Maximum broadcast packages forwarded from the MEMBER’S equipment must not exceed 50 (fifty) in number per second per PHYSICAL INTERFACE.
6. Link-local protocols, such as IRDP, ICMP redirects, Discovery protocols (CDP, EDP), VLAN/trunking protocols (VTP, DTP), BOOTP/DHCP, etc are SHOULD BE DISABLED.
7. It is NOT ALLOWED to use Spanning Tree Protocol enabled on a port connected to Extreme-IX.
8. It is NOT ALLOWED to use proxy ARP enabled on a router port connected to Extreme-IX.
9. For the purpose of monitoring on Extreme IX site, Members should not forbid ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) communication from/to Extreme IX IP address space.
10. Extreme IX has implemented Quarantine VLAN. Аll new ports are placed in their own separate VLAN, together with a monitor port.

 

1. Interfaces connected to Extreme IX ports SHALL ONLY use IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) and netmasks assigned to them by Extreme IX.

2. IP packets addressed to Extreme IX Peering LAN’s directed broadcast address SHALL NOT be automatically forwarded to Extreme IX ports.

3. IP address space assigned to Extreme IX Peering LANs SHALL NOT be advertised to other networks.
4. Members SHALL NOT announce to the ROUTE SERVERS IP address space reserved for Private networks (Private IPs).

8. Members SHALL NOT announce to the ROUTE SERVERS AS numbers reserved for private use (Private AS).
9. The Member must aggregate as far as possible the announced prefixes (MEMBER ADDRESS SPACE).
   The smallest IP address block allowed to be announced is /24 (256 IP addresses). NOTE: DO NOT advertise the full routing table to us, we need your DNS IP Pools and End user IP Pools only!
10. Extreme IX can limit the PUBLIC PEERING traffic in both directions (source and destination), when source IP address space or destination IP address space is not part of the prefixes announced by the Member to ROUTE SERVERS.

 

1. Using Route Servers (RS) – two RSs for redundancy and resilience.
2. Bilateral BGP sessions between Extreme IX Members / Content providers with theirs mutual agreements.

 

1. Disabling first AS check
   The Route Servers do not have their AS first in the AS_PATH. In some cases you might need to disable the first AS check in your BGP configuration.
   – On Cisco routers please specify ‘no bgp enforce-first-as’ or ‘bgp enforce-first-as disable’ to disable the enforcement.
   – On Huawei routers please specify ‘undo check-first-as’ to disable the enforcement.

2. Autonomous System Number (ASN)
   Extreme IX supports both 16-bit and 32-bit AS numbers.

3. Incoming Prefixes Filtering
   Extreme IX Route Servers’ filtering policy is as follows:- Drop small prefixes – longer than /24 for ipv4 and longer than /48 for ipv6.
   – Drop all well-known Martians and bogons.
   – Ensure that there is at least 1 ASN and less than 64 ASNs in the AS path.
   – Ensure that the peer AS is the same as the first AS in the AS path.
   – Drop any prefix where the next-hop IP address is not the same as the peer IP address. This prevents prefix hijacking.
   – Drop any prefix with a transit network (Internet or IP Transit) ASN in the AS path.
   – Ensure that origin AS is in the set of ASNs from the client’s IRRDB AS-SET.
   – If the prefix is evaluated as RPKI valid, it is accepted.
   – If the prefix is evaluated as RPKI invalid, it will be dropped.
   – If the prefix is evaluated as RPKI unknown, revert to the standard IRRDB prefix filtering.

Extreme IX RSs remove their own AS from the route, which will make them seem directly connected without a necessary BGP session between each member.

All members of Extreme IX route servers can use communities to control incoming and outgoing information.

Concerning the incoming traffic (which announces are accepted) the control is on the member side – He can filter which received prefixes from RS he will accept.

With the help of BGP Communities, Extreme IX member may decide who he wants to “give” the traffic to. The following BGP Community is maintained for every announced prefix.

0:peer AS	Prefix is announced from peer AS

 

49378:0	Block Your prefix to all peers
49378:0 49378:ASPEER	Block Your prefix to all peers EXCEPT ASPEER
49378:ASPEER	Block Your prefix to ASPEER

 

Also, large BGP communities are supported:

49378:0:0	Block Your prefix to all peers
49378:1:ASPEER	Announce a route to a certain ASPEER
49378:0:ASPEER	Prevent announcement of a prefix to a ASPEER

 

AS path prepending control is also available. Those large communities allow the member to prepend prefixes to a specific member of the route servers and can leave the rest of prefixes announced as they are with no prepends.

49378:101:ASPEER	Prepend to peer AS once
49378:102:ASPEER	Prepend to peer AS twice
49378:103:ASPEER	Prepend to peer AS three times

 

For Example, you can prepend your prefixes to ASN1 three times and keep your prefixes without prepends when advertised to the rest of the members using this community:
49378:103:ASN1

 

Please note that you are advised not to mix standard with large communities (Please choose one or the other)

 

Extreme IX implements N:M filtering based on standard community strings. As standard BGP communities support only 4
bytes, this only works for 2-byte ASNs and peers with 2-byte ASNs.

For BGP peers with 32-bit ASN use current table for community:
