Quick Overview
To consider peering, France Telecom asks the applicant to fulfill the
following pre-requisites :
- Aggregated exchanged traffic must be 4.0Gbs at least,
- Peering legs must be implemented in geographically dispersed
locations (ie more than 250 miles apart). Ix-pop available.
- Peering partner must operate on dedicated IP circuits of at least OC-192 in
the US or in Europe.
- Peering with one Carrier/ISP (disregarding AS#) must be worldwide if applicable.
Thus peering in Europe requires peering in US whenever possible.
- France Telecom will not enter into peering relationship with customers
of existing peering partners.
- France Telecom may shutdown peering if peer is a customer of
existing peering partner.
- France Telecom may shutdown or alleviate peering if existing
legs cannot stand 1 leg failure.
- France Telecom considers ipv4 and ipv6 as a whole.
These are the essential required criteria. For the full policy, please look at the full document below.
