Bat Blue's Peering
Bat Blue's BlueNET is purpose-built to deliver the exceptional performance that Cloud-based services demand. As such, Bat Blue promotes an open peering policy. This is the best way to ensure the reachability and performance Bat Blue's Cloud-services clients have come to depend on.
If you would like to peer with Bat Blue either via any of Bat Blue's public peering networks around the world, or private peering facilities, please feel free to contact our Network and Security Operation Center (S/NOC) to discuss your organization's peering requirements.

Bat Blue's Peering Policy
The following serves to describe the peering policy for Bat Blue's Autonomous System 25885:
- All peers must supply both voice and email operations contact that is available 24x7.
- Peers must not utilize any form of gateway of last resort or default route that is directed at Bat Blue.
- Peer must not sell or offer next-hop to Bat Blue for any third-party.
- Peer must not re-advertise routes for Bat Blue's AS to any third-party.
- A good faith effort should be made to aggregate route announcements as much as is practical.
- All announcements are to be consistent, in terms of prefix aggregation properties, across all peering points.
- Peers are expected to filter their clients and third-parties to reject both unauthorized BGP announcements as well as IP traffic with invalid source addresses.
- Bat Blue will not maintain both a transit and peering relationship with a given network simultaneously.
- Bat Blue reserves the right to suspend peering for an indefinite period of time should any form of network abuse be verified to take place via the peering interconnect. Such abuse may include but is not limited to:
- Denial of Service attacks
- Unsolicited Bulk Email sources
- Setting default-route to Bat Blue
