Policy

If an ARIX member cause issues for the exchange, other members, or the internet at large, intentionally or unintentionally, the offending port may be brought down until the issue is corrected.

Only announce IP space that you're authorized to announce.
Only 0x0800 (IPv4), 0x0806 (ARP), and 0x86dd (IPv6) ethertypes are permitted.
Only one MAC address per port without prior authorization.

Route Servers

The ARIX route servers use AS47192 on the following addresses:

44.190.42.253
2602:801:30ff::253
44.190.42.254
2602:801:30ff::254

The route servers run BIRD and Pathvector and enforce strict IRR, RPKI, max-prefix, and Tier 1 ASN filtering.

Please keep your PeeringDB page up to date, as configuration profiles are built automatically.

The route servers are BGP passive so your side must be configured as BGP active.

Remotely Triggered Blackhole (RTBH)

ARIX operates a blackhole server at 44.190.42.251 and 2602:801:30ff::251 with a static MAC of 66:66:de:ad:be:ef. Members may add the RFC7999 blackhole community (65535:666) to /32 IPv4 and /128 IPv6 routes to instruct the route servers to blackhole the route.

BGP Communities

The route servers pass along all communities to peers (NO_EXPORT for example). They also add information communities and accept action communities from peers:

Informational Communities

Community	Large Community	Description
47192:47192	47192:1:47192	Added to all routes
	47192:2:x	Learned from ASx

Action Communities
