What is Coloclue?

Coloclue (AS 8283) is a non-profit association based in the Netherlands, serving a very specific market segment: the association is run by, and for, network engineers from the Dutch ISP scene, entirely driven by volunteers.

These engineers prefer to host their gear at some other place than their employer. This benefits them hugely in troubleshooting and provides for a neutral environment.

How to peer?

If you are connected to AMS-IX, NL-IX, Asteroid Amsterdam, or SPEED-IX you can set up BGP sessions with AS8283. Make sure you accept AS8283:AS-COLOCLUE (100 prefixes max).

Add yourself to the peers.yaml file and submit a pull request to this repository. Once a network engineer validates your pull request and merges it into the master branch, the peering session will automatically be configured on our routers within an hour or so.

The peers.yaml format should be fairly self-explanatory, but when in doubt do not hesitate to contact routers@coloclue.net.

Note: peers.yaml is indented by 4 spaces. This needs to be used consistently across the file. Failing to do so will result in invalid YAML.

Example stanza:

AS12345:
    description: A really cool ISP
    import: AS-RANDOMISP
    export: AS8283:AS-COLOCLUE

The relevant IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are pulled from PeeringDB. If you add a new connection in PeeringDB, and we have an Internet Exchange in common, our software will automatically set up BGP peering sessions towards your new connection. Likewise, if you remove an connection from your PeeringDB record, our software will remove the respective BGP sessions.

Routing Policy

Coloclue (AS8283) has a fairly open peering policy, but we do have a non-traditional routing policy:

* If your IXP connection is NOT in PeeringDB, changes will need to be handled manually
* All peers' prefixes are filtered based on strict IRR.
* All peers' prefixes are filtered based on strict RPKI.
* Prefix filters facing peers are updated every 12 hours from `rr.ntt.net`.

We provision our configuration automatically from PeeringDB, please ensure your entry is kept up-to-date including IP addresses and number of prefixes announced.
