Peering Policy

OVHcloud.com operates using the autonomous system AS16276.

We own datacenters in Europe (North-East and East of France, London, Frankfurt, Warsaw), North America (Montreal, Ashburn, Portland, Dallas) and APAC (Singapore, Sydney, Mumbai) and run a worldwide network.

OVHcloud is hosting several ASNs besides its own ASNs (AS16276 and AS35540), please filter on our AS-SET: AS-OVH.

Our traffic ratio is Heavy Outbound and our policy is open.

Contact AS16276

We use a ticketing system to contact us for peering purposes.

Please send an email to peering-16276@ovh.net with detailed information.

We may not reply immediately, so please be patient!

If you want a faster response, please configure your side first.

Peering with AS16276 on Internet Exchanges

For low traffic levels, under 10Gbps peak, we recommend using direct sessions on Internet Exchanges.

• BGP sessions should be established in IPv4 and IPv6 if available
• Technical information (IPv4/IPv6) about peer should be visible publicly on peeringdb.com

Peering with AS16276 on Private Peering

Our BGP peering policy is open. Physical connectivity is on 10G-LR, 100G-LR4, 100G-CWDM4 or 400G-LR4, with LACP short timers.

In Europe and North America, access to 10G is limited and we expect to share at least approximately 10-15Gbit/s of traffic.

BGP sessions should be established in IPv4 and IPv6 if available.

OVHcloud provides IPv4 /31 and IPv6 /127 subnets for the PNI.

Peering Information

We announce around 149 IPv4 prefixes and 8 IPv6 prefixes. However our Backbone is Regionalised, specially in Asia, and we may announce only a subset of our prefixes on IX/PNI.

As we are growing fast, we suggest to set the following maximum-prefixes:

• IPv4 : 1000 prefixes
• IPv6 : 200 prefixes

Important Notices

To ensure quality of operations, we reserve the following rights under our Peering Policy:

• To accept or decline a peering request at any time for any reason.
• To suspend, without notice, peering connectivity in the event of a severe quality of service issue such as high latency, packet loss, or jitter pattern is detected and to take appropriate traffic engineering steps to maintain service quality.
• To alter our peering policy and peering requirements at any time.
• To terminate any peering connection at any time without notice.

Network tools

We have a Looking Glass available, lg.ovh.net
