Route servers#

Three equivalent, mutually independent route server pairs. Members should configure all three, i.e. three sessions per address family.

What members need to know#

• The route servers are transparent: AS214591 does not appear in the AS path, and the next hop remains that of the announcing member. On many platforms enforce-first-as therefore has to be disabled for these sessions.
• No MD5 passwords, no multihop; sessions are actively established from both sides.
• Prefix limit: the route server accepts only as many prefixes from each member as stated in PeeringDB; without an entry, 250 (IPv4) and 50 (IPv6) apply. If the limit is exceeded, the session is restarted. Keep PeeringDB up to date.
• Software: BIRD 2, configuration generated by IXP Manager.

Example configurations#
