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, but for PNI, we start with 10GB-LR or 100GB-LR4 interfaces.
Discussion about a PNI starts when we share at least approximately 10-15Gbps. (peering-16276@ovh.net)
We no longer do PNI under 4x10G or nx100G rate.
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 121 IPv4 prefixes and 7 IPv6 prefixes.
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
To track the latency from different locations, smokeping.ovh.net
