Peering Policy – AS1100 (Nuday Networks Inc.)

1. Overview

Nuday Networks Inc. (AS1100) operates a neutral colocation and IP transit network in the Greater Toronto Area. We maintain a selective but open peering policy to improve performance, reduce latency, and optimize routing efficiency for our customers.

2. Peering Policy Type

Selective Peering

Peering is evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on technical and operational alignment.

3. Requirements

To qualify for peering, networks should generally meet the following:

  • Operate a publicly registered ASN
  • Maintain a stable BGP network with proper routing policies
  • Have a valid and maintained IRR (RADb, RIPE, etc.) and/or RPKI records
  • Provide accurate PeeringDB information
  • Maintain 24/7 NOC contact availability
  • Announce consistent and non-transient routing prefixes
  • Minimum traffic levels (preferred but not mandatory)

4. Peering Locations

We are open to peering at the following locations:

  • Toronto IX (e.g., TorIX)
  • Cologix (151 Front St W)
  • Other GTA data centers (case-by-case)

Private interconnects are also supported where mutually beneficial.

5. Technical Requirements

  • BGP-4 only
  • IPv4 and IPv6 supported
  • MD5 authentication recommended
  • Maximum prefix limits must be configured
  • Only customer and owned prefixes should be advertised
  • No default routes accepted
  • Proper filtering (IRR/RPKI-based) required

6. Traffic & Routing Policy

  • Cold-potato routing preferred (handoff at closest interconnect)
  • Balanced traffic ratios preferred but not strictly enforced
  • No transit via peering sessions
  • No route leaking or third-party announcements

7. Communities & Routing Control

We support standard BGP communities for:

  • Traffic engineering (case-by-case)
  • Blackholing (if enabled)
  • Local preference control (on request)

Details available upon request.

8. Service Levels

Peering is provided on a best-effort basis with no SLA guarantees.
However, we maintain high network availability and responsive NOC support.
