Peering policy.
Open, free, and filtered in both directions.

MARKVD-NET operates AS402766, a small autonomous system carrying self-hosted infrastructure and community projects. We maintain an open peering policy and will peer with any network present at a shared internet exchange, subject to the requirements below. There are no ratio requirements and there is no cost to peer.

This is a personal network operated to production standards rather than a commercial carrier, and the policy is written to say so plainly. What it lacks in scale it makes up for in a maintainer who reads his own logs.

remarks

Requirements

  • A registered ASN and a public PeeringDB record. If we cannot look you up, we cannot filter you.
  • Valid IRR objects and RPKI ROAs covering everything you announce. Routes that are RPKI-invalid, or that fail IRR validation, are rejected rather than deprioritized.
  • No prefixes shorter than /24 for IPv4 or /48 for IPv6.
  • A single, consistent AS path with no bogon and no private ASNs.
  • No default and no transit through us. Do not point default at MARKVD-NET or forward transit traffic through it. We announce only our own address space and provide no transit to anyone.
  • A reachable technical and NOC contact, kept current in PeeringDB. A stale contact is the most common reason a session stays down longer than it needed to.

Routing security

AS402766 is operated in accordance with the MANRS expected actions:

  • Filtering. Inbound and outbound prefix filtering, built from IRR data and refreshed rather than set once.
  • Origin validation. RPKI route origin validation applied to everything received. Invalid means dropped.
  • Anti-spoofing. Source address validation per BCP 38 at the network edge.
  • Coordination. Current contact information published in PeeringDB and in security.txt.
  • Global validation. Routing data published publicly through IRR and RPKI. We announce only our own registered aggregates and originate no more-specifics.
Documentation on how this network is actually put together, including the routed 44Net subnet and its BGP configuration, is published under markvd.net/documentation.
