Peering policy
Project NIX is aimed at prefix collection at the Nikhef facilities in Amsterdam. We are mainly interested in peerings with parties that are local to the Nikhef facilities. We maintain an open peering policy with the exception that any peering party must have physical presence at the Nikhef facilities. No written agreement is required from our side, we will however honor peering contracts if joining parties require them.
