Karmuz Network keeps an open but selective peering policy and is present at several European internet exchanges, with room for private interconnects where traffic justifies it. To open a session with AS209990:
- Register on PeeringDB and match a few sensible requirements: a registered ASN, RPKI-signed and IRR-registered prefixes, and a shared exchange or a cross-connect.
- A sensible max-prefix is set on every session; RPKI-invalid routes are filtered out.
- Send a request to peering@karmuz.net. We keep our PeeringDB record current and reply as people, not a ticket queue.
