- No default route, static routes or next hop pointing at us, and no traffic sent to us for destinations we have not announced to you.
- IPv4 and IPv6 sessions where you support both.
- Reasonable prefix limits on your side. Ours on yours follow your PeeringDB record.
- MD5 session passwords are optional and set by agreement.
- Notice of planned maintenance that affects the session, and a prompt response to operational issues.
What you can expect from us
- We announce only VOIMAR address space, listed above.

- We keep our PeeringDB record and IRR objects up to date.
- We give notice of planned maintenance and act on abuse and security reports.
